You already own a LabelWriter and want to know if it's Internet Postage compatible?
Printing Internet Postage with a LabelWriter is faster, easier and more economical than using conventional printers:

• Universal: LabelWriter postage labels fit on any size mail piece from small envelopes, Priority Mail flats to Parcel Post packages. In contrast, only a very few envelope sizes can feed through standard printers. Parcels can't fit through your printer!
• Hassle free: The LabelWriter fits right on your desk, printing matched sets of address and postage labels without interfering with your other equipment or interrupting your workflow. It's a hassle to feed envelopes and label sheets through standard printers. Particularly if you share those printers on a network and have to interrupt other users every time you need to feed an envelope or label sheet.
• Mistake Proof: The LabelWriter eliminates the possibility of incorrectly printed postage when standard printers misfeed envelopes or print postage on the wrong paper stock. The Post Office doesn't offer rebates on incorrectly printed postage. Advantage LabelWriter!
• Accurate Postage: Whether you are sending Priority Mail envelope, or a 3oz letter, you will always have the exact postage at your fingertips.
• Networkable: You can share a LabelWriter on your network so everyone can use it as a postage printer.
