NEW IMI Standards


According to the Federal Register, IMI-PC enables USPS to more accurately price shipping/mailing products, provide more detailed corporate reporting, attain operational efficiency by automating many functions (including postage refunds), improve the USPS Federal regulatory compliance, and better secure Postal Service and customer data.


USPS now requires that all new mailing systems meet these IMI standards as the mailing systems go to market.


The new IMI standard was designed to safeguard USPS and its customers with its strongest security. IMI adheres to the Federal Information Processing Standards for data encryption, ensuring information transmits securely.

Additional Benefits of the

New IMI Standards


Accurate Postage


Even professionally handled manual data entry may produce errors. With IMI the postage is calculated automatically for you after inputting the required Service Class. Using IMI saves money, and mail won't be returned for a lack of postage.


Automatic Updates


USPS requires IMI systems to connect to the manufacturer's servers once every 3 days. With frequent usage information, USPS is better able to anticipate and manage the mail flow. Updates arrive to the meter in a timely fashion, including rate changes and other modifications to avoid under/overpaying.


Greater Connectivity


Dedicated LAN connections replace the phone lines used for older models, which ensure a constant connection and enables faster updates and postage refills.
