Endicia for Mac 2.12.2
Upgrading will automatically bring over your mailing log
and all your preferences.
Endicia for Mac 2.12.2 requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 or greater.
(Including 10.5 Leopard and 10.6 Snow Leopard and 10.7 Lion)
Endicia for Mac 2.12.2 - February 1st, 2012 -- Download
Changes from 2.12:
- Allows Large Envelope labels with optional services to print on DYMO 30383 and 30384 labels
- Fixes issue with non-applicable commercial base rates for Printable Postage
- Fixed issue with selecting Endicia Insurance for shipments to Canada.
USPS Jan 22nd 2012 Price Change Support:
- For detailed information see
- New prices for First-Class Mail, Library Mail, Media Mail, Parcel Post, and First-Class Mail International.
- New prices for Express Mail, Priority Mail, Parcel Select, Express Mail International, Priority Mail International, and M-Bag.
- Includes Commercial Base prices for First-Class Mail Package Services.
- New support for the Express Mail Flat Rate Box and the Priority Mail Regional Rate Box C.
Other Changes:
- All labels for package mailpieces and for all domestic Priority Mail and Express Mail items will now include a USPS Intelligent Mail package barcode. This means that we can no longer support DYMO 30383, DYMO 30384, or DYMO 99019 labels for any packages or any domestic Priority Mail or Express Mail. You will get cheaper Priority Mail rates than before without the barcode.
- You can now specify Saturday/Sunday/Holiday delivery for Express Mail all individually.
- Support for the new Adult Signature and Adult Signature Restricted service options.
Important Information:
- This will be the last calendar year that Endicia for Mac will support Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. We will continue to make updates that are compatible with 10.4 until at least Dec 31st, 2012 but all releases (including mandatory releases) after that will be for 10.5 or greater. There is a lot of room for new features and improvements in our client software and unfortunately, we cannot make the kinds of changes we want to make if we keep 10.4 support. In addition, continuing to support an operating system from 2007 is no longer feasible with the current developer tools from Apple. We highly recommend updating to 10.5 Leopard, or more preferably, 10.7 Lion if possible. We of course welcome your feedback at mac@endicia.com.

Changes to be aware of in Endicia for Mac:
- The USPS is requiring a wider Delivery Confirmation barcode on our labels so that our customers can qualify for the new Priority Mail Commercial Base Pricing (an average savings of 3.5% compared to what you'd pay if we used the old narrower barcode). The new barcode is over 3.7" wide whereas the old one was about 2.6".
Because of this, the elements of the label no longer all fit within the space of a DYMO 99019 1-part label so we have currently disabled printing Priority Mail on the 99019 label type until we can get approved on a new label design, we have some ideas and are working on it.
Unfortunately we were not able to have a solution ready for the price change, we sincerely apologize for the lack of notice and inconvenience this may cause. - Related to the above, the Delivery Confirmation barcode will now print in the middle panel on the DYMO 30387 3-Part labels so that it will fit.
- This will be the last Endicia for Mac release to support Mac OS X 10.2.8, the next release will require Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater. Really.

- After May 14, international labels and corresponding customs forms will print differently than in previous versions of Endicia for Mac:
- First-Class Mail International and Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelope - For small packages weighing up to 4 pounds, Endicia for Mac will print a 4"x6" shipping label to your plain paper or Zebra printer. The customs forms do not need to be signed.
- Priority Mail International standard packaging and Flat Rate Box - Endicia for Mac will print two 8.5"x11" sheets to a plain paper printer only. Fold these sheets in half and place in a 2976-E clear plastic envelope. The customs forms do not need to be signed.
- Express Mail International standard packaging and Flat Rate Envelope - Endicia for Mac will print two 8.5"x11" sheets to a plain paper printer only. Fold these sheets in half and place in a 2976-E clear plastic envelope. The customs forms do not need to be signed.
- APO/FPO shipments will still use the old style customs forms
- XML format changes:
- Because of the new dimensional weight and attention to the mailpiece type, we've added some new tags and eliminated older ones. The new specification is here: http://endicia.xmlmac.sgizmo.com/
- If you are using the XML interface for printing international items with customs forms, you should be aware that because the forms are now electronically signed, you must pass in a new tag <CustomsCertify> which must have a value of TRUE. We have tried to be as backwards compatible as we could but this is a mandatory change. In addition, the names of countries in the CountryOfOrigin tags are now checked against the USPS official country list so you'll want to make sure that you are using the full names.
- Endicia for Mac 2.5 does not support the ReturnAddress XML tags or Address Verification file formats yet but will in the next update.
- We are considering dropping support in a future release for Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar and upping the system requirement to Mac OS X 10.3.9. If you have any comments or questions about this, please let us know at mac@endicia.com
