    摘要: Apparatus (10) is disclosed for obtaining recharge codes for one or more postage meters. The apparatus includes a conventional microcomputer (12), including a keyboard (14), display (16) and disk drive (20), which is connected through a modem (22) to a remote data processing center (30). The center (30) provides codes which may be used to recharge postage meters (40a,40b), i.e., to reset the meters so that they may continue printing postage. The apparatus includes a data bank of information relating to each of the postage meters, including identification codes for each of the meters. A user enters information, including a control sum, for each meter and the apparatus combines it with other information stored in the data bank to form messages. The apparatus then enters into transactions with the remote data processing center (30) to obtain recharge codes for each of the meters, which codes are then displayed for entry into the meters. In another embodiment the apparatus may operate via a local communications network.

    摘要: A method for maintaining mailpiece integrity in a mailing system when a mechanical module experiences an error. For one category of errors, the mailing system may automatically recover from the error without operator intervention. For the remaining category of errors, the mailing system may recover from the error with minimum operator intervention, that is, the operator may be required to only remove the error producing mailpiece. A motion control processor for an error producing mechanical module will report a fault to its corresponding mailpiece builder task (30) and the error detector task. Movement of at least the error producing mailpiece shall stop. The fault will be reported to the mailpiece builder tasks (30) corresponding to the mechanical modules having no error condition. The mailing system shall suspend further processing of mailpieces upstream from the error producing mailpiece. For one category of errors, the mailing system will purge the error producing mailpiece from the error producing module without operator intervention. For the remaining category of errors, the operator will be required to remove at least the error producing mailpiece. State machines (24) are then selected to perform system wide job recovery.

    摘要翻译: 一种当机械模块遇到错误时在邮件系统中维护邮件完整性的方法。 对于一类错误,邮件系统可能会自动从错误中恢复,而无需操作人员的干预。 对于剩余的错误类别,邮寄系统可以以最小的操作员干预从错误中恢复,也就是说,操作者可能只需要除去产生错误的邮件。 用于错误产生机械模块的运动控制处理器将向相应的邮件构建器任务(30)和错误检测器任务报告故障。 至少产生错误的邮件的移动将停止。 该故障将被报告给对应于没有错误状况的机械模块的邮件制作者任务(30)。 邮寄系统应暂停对错误生成邮件上游邮件的进一步处理。 对于一类错误,邮件系统将在错误生成模块中清除产生邮件的错误,而无需操作人员的干预。 对于其余类别的错误,操作员将至少要移除错误的邮件。 然后选择状态机(24)来执行系统范围的作业恢复。
