            Compact, Easy-to-Use, DM200(TM) Mailing System
            Brings Digital Technology To Low Volume Mailers

Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) Mailing Systems Division today introduced the DM200(TM) mailing system, the latest addition to its expanding suite of digital metering products for mailers of every size. The DM200(TM) mailing system provides a user-friendly, compact and whisper-quiet solution - all pluses for today's small office. Furthermore, the DM200(TM) system's digital printing technology is designed to meet the anticipated U.S. Postal Service standards and requirements for digital meters. The DM200(TM) System joins ClickStamp(TM) Online, the PostPerfect(R) mailer, the Galaxy(R) mailing system, and the DM300(TM) system to complement the industry's only comprehensive family of digital mailing solutions.

The DM200(TM) system is an ideal option for the active office environment. The whisper-quiet digital printing feature minimizes disruptions while the ink jet printing capability ensures that mail is processed quickly and looks professional. Plus, the stylish design and small footprint of the DM200(TM) system can be easily integrated into virtually any office setting. Other benefits that are certain to make this system an office favorite include:

Elimination of trips to the Post Office - A single key touch is all it takes to replenish the meter with postage by modem. Postage refills are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with our Postage By Phone(R) meter resetting system. In addition, the DM200(TM) system enables users to immediately comply with the U.S. Postal Service's new regulation, which requires that newly installed meters are capable of being reset remotely.

Tip-to-tip sealing ensures security - The DM200(TM) mailing system securely seals every piece it handles. Mailers will not have to worry about important business communications being lost or exposed due to an open envelope flap.

Elimination of returned mail due to incorrect dating - An internal clock automatically advances the date.

Easy-to-read display tells all - A central control panel informs mailers of postage balances and ink levels. The system will even guard against accidentally applying too much postage.

Increases productivity and reduces postage expenses - By processing up to 40 letters per minute, the DM200(TM) system gets all the office mail finished and out the door quickly and efficiently. And by integrating a 5 lb. Integra(TM) scale with the DM200(TM) system, users can save up to 20% on postage expense by eliminating over payments.

"Customers that tested the DM200 really loved the system," stated Tim Bates, Vice President, Marketing, Pitney Bowes Mailing Systems. "The reasons why are obvious. Digital systems, like the DM200, are highly secure, extremely flexible and, they provide unmatched benefits for today's business mailer. We feel confident that the leading-edge technology found in the DM200(TM) mailing system is the benchmark for the industry."
