You can check your Envelope Printing postage balance on your franking machine at any time.

Your available postage is displayed on the Postage Balance button on the top of the Envelope Printing screen. To view the amount available in your account:

1. Tap Envelope Printing on the Home screen.

2. Tap Postage Balance.

Once you print a franking impression (or indicia), the postage amount is deducted from the funds on your machine, even if the printing is illegible. Therefore it is important to ensure the correct value displays on your machine before printing postage.

For up-to-date refund guidelines, refer to the Royal Mail website.

To request a refund via Royal Mail:

1. Don’t post the items.

2. Remove the contents and start again with a new envelope.

3. Send any unused franked envelope (the whole envelope) to: Royal Mail Franking, Stone Hill Road, Farnworth, Bolton, BL4 9XX.
– The affected mail must be at least £10 in total value.
– All the impressions must be clear and readable and made within six months of the franked date.
– You will receive a cheque refund for the value of the unused impressions minus a 15% administration fee.

Automatic upload of your Envelope printing transactions:

– Your franking machine automatically uploads your Envelope Printing transactions at least once during the day and once after hours.
– If you lock your franking machine or turn it off for any extended period of time, your franking machine automatically uploads your transactions when you power it up again.
– If you see the message “Sync your data”, it means that your transactions need to be uploaded.
