Replacing the tape on the SendPro MailCenter 1000, 2000, and 3000

Replace the tape roll in the meter when a red stripe appears.

The SendPro MailCenter 1000 and SendPro MailCenter 2000 uses adhesive tape. The SendPro MailCenter 3000 can use either adhesive or gummed tape. A red stripe appears along its edge approximately 36 inches from the end which indicates the tape is running low. There is also a black stripe that tells the meter when it is out of tape. At this point the meter stops printing.

Important: If you do not use Pitney Bowes supplied tape, you will not be able to determine when the tape is running out and this may cause a jam.
