Updating the time on your Mailmark machine material-symbols_arrow-drop-down

As you may be aware, your Mailmark machine changes the visible date printed at 5pm every day, in line with requirements from the Royal Mail. When the clocks go back one hour weekend, your machine will require a download in order to ensure the time chip inside is updated to reflect the change. This action will be required on the Monday after every clock change, the October clock change is the most important in this instance. It is easily updated. Simply following the instructions below and the update will be completed within 2 minutes:

  1.  Ensure your machine is connected to the LAN.
  2. Press the Recredit Button on your Quick Keys (image of coins).
  3. Select > Credit (or press 2).
  4.  If the system asks for a PIN code, enter the code using the keypad and press [OK].
  5. The Credit Screen is displayed.
  6. Enter £0.00
  7. Press [OK] – this will now connect you to the system.
  8.  The update will be applied and the connection will close.

Please note, you can do this at the same time as applying funds if you wish, but it is not required for completing the update.

What do I do when my Machine has a message “PSD Locked”? material-symbols_arrow-drop-down

Your Franking Machine will display ‘PSD Locked’ if the machine has not connected to the funding server within the specified date limit for the type of machine you have (7 days for Mailmark metered machines, 60 days for all other machines). To clear this message your machine must therefore connect and communicate to the Credifon funding server. This can be achieved by performing an “Audit Call” as follows;

  • Press the Coins Key
  • Select Option 3 “Audit”
  • Press OK to confirm Audit transaction
  • The Machine will display “Meter Resetting, Audit Transaction in progress”
  • If successful the machine will confirm transaction and return to the Credit menu.
  • Press the “Home” key and your machine should be ready to Frank

If the Audit Call is unsuccessful please contact Twofold Customer Support on 0118 951 9800 or support@twofold.co.uk
