METER READING AND REPORTING
3. When the serial number has been entered and accepted, the
system asks for the date of the reading.
“Please enter the date of the reading or enter the pound sign
for today's date.”
For example, May 3, 1989 would be entered as 05 03 89 #.
If a date appears to be incorrect, you receive a special
message and are asked to reenter the date.
If the system tells you your date is not within the acceptance
range, it also gives you the correct range. If you do not
enter a date within that range, the system refers you to the
touchtone information number and terminates the call.
When a correct date is entered, the system reads back the
date, for example:
“Date is five three eighty-nine.”
4. When the system finishes reading back the date, it then asks
for the meter reading.
“Please enter meter A.”
Enter the A meter reading, ending with the pound sign. Do
not enter zeros in front of the numbers of the meter read.
Note: From the serial number, the system knows how many
meters there are to report and asks for them by name.
— If you want to review the data, enter **1# to start the
review. Refer to the following section “How to review
and change data” for instructions.
5. When the A meter has been entered, the system reads it
back to you and says:
“All meter reads for this machine are complete. Enter pound
sign to acknowledge.”
Enter the pound sign (#) if the meter read was correctly
entered. If there was a mistake, enter **4# to cancel the
read and reenter the correct meter read. Once again the
system repeats the meter read to you and asks you to enter
the pound sign to confirm the entry. If it is correct, enter #;
if it is not, repeat the cancellation/reentry process.
6. Once you have successfully completed step 5, the system
says:
“All readings accepted.”
The system's next message is to ask you for a machine serial
number. At this point you have three choices:
_ If you have more machines to report, repeat the previous
steps until all machines have been reported.
— If you have no more machines to report and you are sure
of the accuracy of the information, enter **91# to end
the reporting session. The system responds by indicating
how many machines were processed and accepted
during this session.
“Readings for ___ machines accepted. Thank you for
using the Xerox Electronic Meter Reading System.”
