Are you using a USPS label printer or are you using a standard business postage
meter (like a Pitney Bowes)? Postage meters don't use the pink band labels
because they don't have bar codes in them. USPS labels printed at the post
office include the destination zip code in bar code format. The internet
postage
labels include that plus other coded info. It is a USPS requirement to print
internet postage on the pink lined labels.
