  • Does our machine automatically update the rates or does this need to be done manually? 

If you have a new iX Series Meter, it will automatically update the new postage rates. Just log off & log in! If you have another Quadient postage meter, you can update the rate by making a “Generic Call” from the machine to the server.

  • What is Mail Automation?

We're glad you asked! By utilizing a folder inserter, you can streamline the entire mailing process with just a few clicks. A folder inserter simplifies the folding, inserting, and delivery of crucial business communications such as invoices and statements. It significantly reduces mailing errors, including the inadvertent sending of incorrect mail to customers, especially in industries that handle sensitive customer, client, or patient information. When paired with mail automation software, you can significantly reduce errors and improve the entire process of preparing mail for your customers.

Presorting is when you group your mail pieces by zip code before you send them in order to lower postage costs. Your postage costs are reduced because you’re helping out the Postal Service save money on their postage processing and delivery. Usually, there's a 500-piece minimum for First-Class Mail.
