WOW in-line weighing with shape-based rating weighs the mail piece as it travels through the system and determines the length, width and thickness to allow proper postage to be applied to the mail piece. The DM400 Series Automatic Digital Mailing System will also be on exhibit. Both DM Series systems feature Constant Connection High Speed LAN Connectivity, which allows customers to link to Pitney Bowes through their local area connection for 24/7 access to confirmation services, electronic return receipt transactions, software updates and USPS postage rate changes.
