Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	Subsequent Event On April 15, 2014, we completed the sale of DIS to Konica Minolta Business Solutions (Canada) Ltd. (Konica Minolta) and a business equipment leasing services provider in two separate transactions. Pitney Bowes of Canada Ltd. (PB Canada) and Konica Minolta also entered into a strategic alliance whereby Konica Minolta will represent PB Canada’s mailing business in certain territories in Canada. We do not expect this sale transaction to have a material impact on net income.
