摘要： A customizable user interface for a mailing apparatus, such as a postage meter or other mailing equipment, provided as input data to a user interface control program, the input data specifying all aspects of the look and feel of the user interface. The invention provides a specific organization of the input data suitable for providing the required specifications. At a high level, the data is organized into a screen tree component, for providing the feel of each screen, i.e. the response by the mailing apparatus (usually the execution of a function) to any key pressed by a user in association with each screen of the user information as well as for providing what screens to display in response to an event so as to communicate the occurrence of the event to a user; and a screen language component, used in conjunction with a font component, for providing the look of each screen, i.e. for providing its content and layout, where the characters or symbols to be painted on a screen is specified in the screen language component, and how to paint the characters and symbols is specified in the font component.

摘要： A postage metering system (100) includes a postage meter (130) and a user interface (120) in communication with the postage meter (130). The user interface (120) includes a micro controller (122) and a memory (126). The memory (126) has stored therein a plurality of image data files (140) corresponding to different currencies. The postage meter (130) includes a micro controller (132) and a memory (134) having stored therein an indicator of meter currency type. The user interface uses the indicator of meter currency type from the postage meter (130) to select a particular one of the plurality of image data files (140) for use in printing a postal indicia (20).
