    摘要: A method includes receiving, in a postage meter, input from a user to select a rate option in the postage meter for mail that is to be pre-sorted at a remote location. If the selected pre-sort rate option has been programmed into the postage meter, the postage meter is set to print postage indicia in accordance with the selected pre-sort rate option. If the selected pre-sort rate option has not been programmed into the postage meter, the postage meter displays, to the user, information to indicate to the user how to arrange for the selected pre-sort rate option to be programmed into the postage meter.

    摘要: A pipeline processor having an exception program counter chain generates a return address in the exception program counter chain for an executing instruction. The return address is the point at which instruction execution should resume after an exception handler routine runs if the executing instruction incurs an exception. The return address is stored into a profiling register if and when the corresponding instruction completes execution. The profiling register is periodically sampled and a statistical profile is built of instructions executed in the processor by using the return addresses sampled. A sampled return address is identified as a branch delay instruction and included in the statistical profile if the sampled return address is that of a branch instruction which immediately precedes a branch delay instruction.

    摘要: A processor is provided which performs relative addressing using the exception program counter. In one embodiment, a pipelined processor is provided with an exception program counter (EPC) register chain for tracking exception re-entry points in the instruction stream, and the instruction pipeline is provided with access to at least one of the registers in the register chain. The pipeline includes a fetch stage, a decode stage, and an execute stage. The exception PC register is identified by the decode stage as an operand in a memory access instruction for the execute stage to operate on. The execute stage then adds the contents of the exception PC register to the contents of a processor register or to a literal value to determine a target memory address.

    摘要: A four-phase arbitration system employs a master and a slave arbiter. The master arbiter operates to provide ownership of a bus to a first device if a second device, coupled to the slave arbiter is not conducting a transaction. If the second device desires use of the bus, the slave arbiter sends a request to the master arbiter, which asserts an acknowledge signal for as long as the first device has ownership of the bus, and at least as long as a timeout of the first device. The master arbiter de-asserts its acknowledge signal when the first device ceases ownership of the bus. The slave arbiter is responsive to the de-assertion of the acknowledge signal to assert bus ownership to the second device. When the second device transaction is completed, its request signal is de-asserted to the master arbiter, causing the master arbiter to re-assert the acknowledge signal. Failure to receive a de-asserted acknowledge signal causes the slave arbiter to move to the next state.

    摘要: A mailing machine for the creation of mailpieces includes a print station and a transport system for passing a length of the label material through the print station to receive information on a face surface of the label material. A processor is adapted to store rating information based upon the weight and dimensions of the mailpiece and is operatively coupled to, and controls, the print station and transport system. In a first operating mode, the processor prints rating information on a length of label material, and in a second operating mode, the processor prints postage indicia on the face surface of the label material based upon the rating information for subsequent application to a mailpiece. In the second operating mode, the postage indicia may optionally be printed on the label material or directly on the face surface of the mailpiece envelope.

    摘要: A mail processing system and method that will that reduce clogging of the print head nozzles due to the use of different inks is provided. When an ink tank is being replaced in a mailing system, the system controller determines if the ink in the new ink tank is a known ink type that is deemed to be compatible with the ink from the ink tank being replaced. If the new ink is deemed to be not compatible with the ink from the tank being replaced, a maintenance operation is performed to remove the ink from the ink tank being replaced that may remain in the supply path and print head from the system. By removing the ink remaining from the ink tank being replaced out of the system, there is minimal ink left in the supply path or print head to mix with the new ink.
