Postage Meter Labeling

Effective January 15, 1996, all postage meter manufacturers were
required to have applied a standardized information label to each leased
postage meter.  This label is designed to remind meter users of the
consequences associated with misuse and alert informants of the
means by which tampering can be reported.  The label should read like
the sample label below. 

Meters without the required label must not be placed into service or
reset.  Meters presented by a meter licensee for resetting or examination
without the approved label must be returned to the meter holder.  Postal
personnel must advise the customer to contact the meter manufacturer's
representative to arrange for application of the label.
