Where can I get help to install my equipment?
If you need some help to install your self-install equipment, then contact our Service team on 01443 813588 who will be able to give you advice over the phone.
If your equipment requires an engineer to install it, then an engineer will contact you to arrange a suitable date. If, however, the engineer has not been able to contact you, call 01443 813588 and an engineer will be arranged.
Where can I find the serial/meter number of my equipment?
This can be found on the back of most self-install equipment. The only exception is PersonalPost™ equipment, which has this number on the bottom. If you have engineer install equipment, the engineer will inform you of your meter number whilst installing it.
How can I change the rates on my meter to reflect the recent Royal Mail rate change?
We will send you all the details you need a few weeks before a Royal Mail rate change. If you are not uptodate then you can order one by emailing info@kanemailing.com

I need to download my Envelope Messaging, how do I do this?
If you have a DM100 series franking machine, your ad plate will need to be downloaded. All you need to do is plug your equipment into an analogue phone line and then: 1. Select ‘Options’ 2. Page down twice 3. Select ‘connect data centre’ 4. Select ‘upload/download’. Once downloaded, you will need to select the ad, as follows: 1. From the front screen, page down 2. Click on ‘Select ad’ 3. You’ll have 3 options: ‘use key pad’, ‘0-none’ or ‘1-<your ad>. Your ad may be called ERA, return address or your company name. If you can’t find the ad plate after you’ve completed a download, this may be because: 1. Your equipment is defaulted to ‘no’ ad plate. Go into ad plates and select the option below ‘none’. 2. Your ad plate may not be ready. Call 01443 813588 to check the status of your ad plate.
