6. Counter readings and cost centres
6.1. Cost centre mode
Your Frama Matrix franking system is equipped with various counters which
allow you to monitor the postage consumption and the number of mail items
franked.
The so-called cost centres allow you to specifically break down the postage
usage. Number of mail items franked can be booked under different periods.
These counters are designated as R1-number or R2-number as well as R1-value
and R2-value. The R stands for “Resettable”.
Two periods are available to you per cost centre. You can split up the periods
individually.
Examples of different periods:
Period 1: Daily report
Period 2: Weekly report
Period 1: Monthly report
Period 2: Annual report
Each cost centre can be given a separate name. You have 16 places at your
disposal. The cost centre active each time is shown in the top section of the
display in the “CC key”. You shift to another cost centre by pressing this key.
You set up the cost centres in the administration mode.
6.1.1. Viewing counter levels of current cost centre
You can have the current counter levels shown at any time. To do so, use the franking mask and press “i”
repeatedly until the counter readings appear. In addition, you can print out the counter readings via the
function “Info Print”.
