Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication apparatus including a first execution unit, a second execution unit, and a selection unit. The selection unit selects a first process of setting a wireless parameter in another communication apparatus or a second process of setting a wireless parameter that is set in another communication apparatus in the communication apparatus.

Abstract: A rotor movement sensing system in a postage meter permits detection of the printing of postage even if power is lost during the printing cycle. A sensor senses a magnet on a disk when the rotor is substantially past its home position. A second sensor has a magnetic memory element. When the magnet on the disk passes near the memory element, that element is magnetized. A Hall-effect sensor at the memory element provides an interrupt to a processor to indicate magnetization of the memory element. A winding is provided around the memory element. The processor has an output which, when asserted, causes current flow through the winding, demagnetizing the memory element. Alternatively a reed switch senses rotor rotation, a flip-flop provides a bistable latch and its output provides a datum for the processor.
