A customized modular mailing system (10) including a module capable of metering value (14) and having a plurality of disabled operating features that are not available for use is described. The system (10) includes the ability for generating an authorization code for disabling certain designed operating features; and for entering the authorization code into the value metering module (14) whereby the desired combination of operating modules (11, 12, 13, 15) having the desired operating features could be placed in communication with the metering value module (14) to create a desired modular mailing system.(10).

Mail processing methods and techniques for sorting and commingling mail from various mail sources including the tracking of the mail pieces through the processing. Such tracking entails uniquely identifying each mail piece, received in batches from the mail sources, and recording the unique identification of each mail piece. The received mail is sorted and commingled in a first pass, to form first collections, and each first collection is loaded into a uniquely identified mail container. For each respective mail piece, the tracking entails recording an association of the unique identification of one of the mail containers into which it is likely the respective mail piece is sorted on the first pass. After processing is complete, postal and client reports can be adjusted based on actual final pass counts.

Anordnung für ein druckendes Postverarbeitungsgerät (1), das einen Anfang-Sensor (16) aufweist, der mit einer Mikroprozessorsteuerung (20) verbunden ist, um den Druckvorgang bei Poststückzuführung auszulösen. Ein Ende-Sensor (19) wird im Bereich einer angetriebenen Auswurfrolle (15) positioniert und mit der Mikroprozessorsteuerung (20) zum Abfragen eines Poststück-Endes verbunden. Die Mikroprozessorsteuerung (20) schaltet bei Erkennung des Poststück-Endes eine zum Antrieb der Auswurfrolle (15) bereitgestellte Motorbetriebsspannung mittels des Druckersteuerungsbausteins (26) ab. Die Auswurfphase wird dadurch verkürzt, wodurch das druckende Postverarbeitungsgerät schneller wieder bereit ist, ein nachfolgendes Poststück zu bedrucken.

A franking machine control panel and its associated method provide users with touch screen (120) displays in which the main screens (320) contain history tabs (332). When a history tab is pressed, the display reverts to the previous status of the category of interest, and allows the user to make changes if desired. In the preferred embodiment, the history tabs (332) allow users to view and modify information which is mandatory to the franking process, such as the mail class and postage rates. Another aspect of the present invention allows the user to configure the more actively used buttons of touch screen on one side or the other, depending on the dominant side of the user's body.

摘要:
A method and system for outputting and reproducing information representing a digital image alleviates system bus bottlenecks by downloading image information from the RAM (Figure 2, 230) to an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) (Figure 2, 280), download controlled by the ASIC (Figure 2, 280), and allowing the ASIC (Figure 2, 280) to directly interface with and directly control the operation of an output device (Figure 2, 250). The ASIC (Figure 2, 280) and the output device (Figure 2, 250) are directly connected thereto via a dedicated bus (Figure 2, 290). While the ASIC (Figure 2, 280) downloading image information from the RAM (Figure 2, 230), the system processor (Figure 2, 210) performs calculations needed from certain portions of the image prior to output and reproduction.
摘要:
A modular franking system (10) including at least one module (11) and a module sensor adapted to sense objects fed to the module. The module can include information on the distance between a position of the sensor and at least one edge of the module, and a location of at least one other module. The modular system can also include a communication system adapted to allow the module to sense objects being transported and communicate information concerning events such as velocity and distance to another module.
摘要:
A table (24) will be generated for tracking each mailpiece in a mailing system having multiple document paths. Attribute data (28) relating to a mailpiece will be stored in a memory while job data (22) relating to a mailing job will also be stored in a memory. A sequence building process (30) will look at the attribute data and determine the motion profiles that are required to ensure the mailpiece obtains the desired attributes. The sequence building then commands execution of the motion profiles.
