Downloading rate updates on the DM300C, DM400C

An Post periodically changes the postal rates. If new rates are available, you can download them onto your franking machine from the Pitney Bowes Data Centre.

The franking machine tells you when a Rate Change update is complete. It also tells you if the update is immediate or takes effect at a later date by listing the new date. Once the effective date is reached, the franking machine automatically switches to the new rates.

Important: This update can take up to 10 minutes to complete. During peak periods, heavy network traffic may require several connection attempts.
