New Meter Requirements
from the U.S. Postal Service Meter Migration & Decertification Mandates
Hasler wants to provide you with important information about the
upcoming decertification and meter replacement deadlines established by the U.S.
Postal Service. Please note that USPS decertification involves two distinct mandates
(with separate deadlines) regarding all rotary postage meters. The first, known
as Phase 3, requires all rotary meters without an automatic
shut-off capacity (timeout feature) to be removed from service by December 31, 2006.
The second mandate, Phase 4, requires all security enhanced
rotary meters be upgraded to digital meters by December 31, 2008. The purpose of
this USPS meter migration enhancement program is to significantly strengthen the
security of postal funds for all users and to help build a foundation for the future
of "intelligent" mail. Fraudulent acts and misuse of postal funds can be costly
to your business, and investigations are time consuming and expensive. All of this
can create inefficiencies in postal service and contribute to increased postal rates.
This area of our web site provides questions and answers designed to help you better
understand the new meter requirements and the deadlines being imposed. Simply click
on the left menu for more information about these mandates. We encourage you learn
as much as you can about the decertification, and take the necessary timely steps
to meet USPS deadlines. The only way these initiatives could negatively impact your
business is if you're not properly prepared. Even if you are using a non-Hasler
postage meter at the present time, Hasler representatives are ready to help you
determine how best to cost effectively meet your postage needs and satisfy all USPS
meter requirements before the deadlines occur. Simply locate and contact the Hasler
dealer nearest you. For Hasler Customers,
