PostBase Mailing System
1 Safety tips
PostBase is a digital mailing system with ink-jet print technology for franking mail.
PostBase complies with the pertinent safety regulations for office information equipment.
Please observe the following tips for your own safety:
Prevention of electrical hazards
• Operate the PostBase only on a grounded single-phase power socket. Make sure your office power supply conforms to the power requirements indicated on the serial number plates.
• Make sure the sockets for connecting the mailing system are close by and easily accessible at all times.
• Unplug the plugs in case of an emergency. Call the Service.
• Take special care that no foreign objects penetrate the system’s interior.
• Be extremely careful when handling liquids.
• Unplug the plugs prior to cleaning the PostBase mailing system.
Prevention of mechanical hazards
• Keep long hair, fingers, loose clothing pieces, neck ties, shawls, jewelry and the like away from moving machine parts.
• Do not remove any parts of the housing.
• Do not remove any equipment related to safety or protection. Do not make them inoperative or unable to function.
Accessories and consumables
• We recommend to use only approved FP equipment and FP original parts. The manufacturer FP has established reliability, safety and applicability. The manufacturer cannot assess the reliability, safety and applicability for products not approved by FP, and therefore not vouch for such products.
• Use the supplied power and connection cables or cables that have been approved by Francotyp-Postalia. Make sure that cables are not damaged.
• Ingestion of the ink can be hazardous. Avoid contact with the eyes. Keep the ink cartridges away from children. Further instructions for use are enclosed with the ink cartridges.
• We recommend to use only the batteries provided by Francotyp-Postalia.
The manufacturer FP has established reliability, safety and applicability. Observe the instructions enclosed with the battery for correct use and disposal.
Safety tips
5
General safety tips
• Install the PostBase mailing system according to the instructions.
• Do not use attached parts like the weighing platform, label compartment, display, drawer, … as ‘handles’ during transport. The best way to handle the components is to hold them at the lower part of the housing at the clearances on both sides.
• When you move the PostBase from a cold environment (i.e. below 10 °C / 50°F):
Unpack the PostBase and wait at least 2 hours before connecting the PostBase.
The PostBase requires this period to adapt to the ambient conditions. Any condensation evaporates.
• Use the ‘Feeder PostBase’ only with the PostBase franking machine. It is not possible to operate the feeder without the PostBase franking machine.
• Have maintenance and repair work done only by qualified personnel authorized by
Francotyp-Postalia. Otherwise, your warranty will become void. You will be liable for any damage.
• Do not be startled while positioning letters. Letter transport will start after a short delay.

Things worth knowing about PostBase
PostBase is a digital mailing system featuring a touch screen and inkjet print technology.
Modular design
In its basic version, the mailing system consists of the
PostBase franking machine with integrated scale, a hand feed tray and a letter catch tray.
This basic version can easily be extended with optional components.
The PostBase mailing system comes in variants with processing speeds of 30 letters per minute up to 65 letters per minute.
10
PostBase Mailing System
Franking
To frank a letter, simply position it with the side to be printed on facing up – PostBase will seize the letter and frank it, after which it is exited to the right side ready for dispatch.
Franking is possible on mail pieces made of inkabsorbing material – postcards to 10 mm (0.4") thick letters in ISO B4 format – and special self-adhesive labels.
Letters as advertising medium
In addition to printing postage, you can print custom advertisements of your choice and text messages on every mail piece you send (not available in all countries).
Download postage
Load postage from the data centre directly into your franking machine – fast, easy and, if need be, 24 hours a day.
Access control
The PostBase franking machine can be protected against unauthorized use via a PIN.
Flexible and up to date
The PostBase franking machine ensures you are always using the current postal rates. Whether new postage rates or new adverts – the data center loads current data directly into your franking machine.
Additional functions
The PostBase mailing system offers a range of convenient additional functions. Among these are:
– Scale. The space saving, integrated scale quickly and reliably determines the weight for letters and parcels.
The determined weight directly affects the product settings.
– Shortcut function for frequently used postal products.
– Account function for separate registration and billing of postage costs.
– Print lists of register states and loading report.
– Variable imprint offset for changing the franking imprint position on the envelope (not available in all
countries).
A short description of the PostBase
11
Options
The following features are available for functionality extension:
– Label dispenser to print self-adhesive labels, for large or thick mail pieces or for envelopes that are not suited for ink-jet printing.
– Feeder. Automatic feeder with sealer for the
PostBase. The letters are separated from the stack, optionally moistened and sealed, and fed to the
PostBase franking machine.
– Sealer. Manually pass the open envelope through the sealer. The moistened flap will be closed in the
PostBase during subsequent franking.
– Differential weighing. A special weighing mode of the integrated scale that helps you save time when weighing and franking large amounts of similar mail pieces.
– Controlling PostBase via PC software. FP offers software for controlling and administration of the franking machine via PC, e. g. Navigator,
RemoteOne, ReportOne, Mailone (not available in all
countries).
