  • Patent number: 4093999
    Abstract: An electronic franking machine, for example a postal franking machine, has a digital electronic input register, for storing a selected franking value fed in for use in the next franking operation of the machine, and a digital electronic total register which accumulates an indication of the total of the respective franking values used for such operations of the machine since this register was last reset. The machine also has an electrically adjustable printing device, for printing the selected franking value in each franking operation. The printing device is housed in a relatively massive stationary unit of the machine, and the electronic registers and associated circuitry are housed in a relatively light portable unit that is readily separable from the stationary unit to facilitate resetting by a remote authority.
