Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Get Olivetti postal equipment for customer and post office use

Complete Olivetti postal equipment information is available online from Olivetti on products designed for use by postal workers as well as self-service terminals for customer use. All Olivetti postal equipment products use thermal printing features to print receipts for postage.

I recommend: Postal equipment for postal workers includes the Olivetti franking system, that weighs parcels and issues postage in barcode form. The alternative to this piece of equipment is the Olivetti self-service terminal, which you can customize to address a number of customer needs and decrease the human resources necessary in postal work.

Get counter-top printing from Olivetti postal equipment

Olivetti postal equipment for counter-top operation is easy to use as a peripheral to other postal equipment. The Olivetti counter printing peripheral prints, manages and cuts documents of various sizes. The counter-top peripheral is not just a receipt printer, but is also a multifunction device.

I recommend: Olivetti's counter printing peripheral allows users to feed documents of various sizes, as well as print and cut documents. An Olivetti postal equipment provider that sells ribbons for the counter-top printer is Worldline Imaging, a U.S. company.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  Stock up on paper and ink cartridges or thermal ribbon for your Olivetti postal equipment when you buy. Because Olivetti is an Italian company and Olivetti equipment is not widely used in the United States, you may have difficulty finding Olivetti supplies later if turnaround time is limited.
