To add postage, open the Funds application, select Add Postage to Meter, choose a refill amount and confirm.

  1. Select the Home icon to go to the Home screen.

How do I key in a postage amount on the Connect+ Series?

To key in postage, select the postage amount or Key in Postage on the Run Mail screen and enter the amount.

Note: You cannot save a job that uses Key in Postage as the default job — your default job must have a class selection so it updates automatically when rates change.

  1. Ensure the appropriate job is open and selected on the Run Mail screen.
  2. Select the postage amount displayed, or select Key in Postage at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Enter your postage amount and select OK.

When you select Key in Postage, the Class and Weighing method are set to none. If you then select a Class, the system updates the postage automatically and sets the weighing method to match your configuration (for example Attached Scale, WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY (W-O-W), or manual entry).

Connect+ Series Postage – Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add postage to the Connect+ Series?

Open Funds, select the Meter Funds tab and Add Postage to Meter, choose a refill amount, then select Confirm. The machine connects to the Data Centre and adds the funds.

Can I remove funds from the Connect+ Series myself?

No. You cannot remove funds yourself on the Connect+ 500W, 1000, 2000 or 3000. Contact your supplier with your model number ready.

Why can’t I save a Key in Postage job as default?

A default job must have a class selection so it updates automatically at a rate change. Key in Postage sets the class to none, so it cannot be the default job.
