摘要： Apparatus for automatically actuating manually operable selector elements, such as the type which normally are found on a manually operable postage meter. A carriage is provided and is movable between an initial, start position and an end position. Plural actuator elements are coupled to and movable with the carriage. These actuator elements are positioned in operable relation with the selector elements and are selectively energized while the carriage moves between its start and end positions to correspondingly activate the selector elements. When used in the environment of a postage meter, the selective energization of the actuator elements thereby conditions the postage meter to provide a corresponding indication of postage. Reset apparatus resets the carriage following the selective energization of the actuator elements. With minor changes in the structure of the actuator elements, the automatic actuator can be used in conjunction with, for example, postage meters of the type having movable levers selectively positioned to establish corresponding monetary units of postage, or an array of columns of depressible keys, each key corresponding to any one of the possible monetary units of postage.
摘要翻译：用于自动启动手动操作的选择器元件的装置，例如通常在手动操作的邮资计费器上找到的类型。提供了一个滑架，并且可以在初始位置，起始位置和结束位置之间移动。多个致动器元件联接到滑架并且可与滑架一起移动。这些致动器元件位于与选择器元件可操作的关系中，并且当托架在其起始位置和终止位置之间移动时选择性地激励，以相应地激活选择器元件。当在邮资计费器的环境中使用时，致动器元件的选择性通电从而调节邮资计费器以提供相应的邮资指示。复位装置在致动器元件的选择性通电之后重置滑架。由于致动器元件结构的微小变化，自动致动器可以与例如具有选择性地定位以便建立相应的邮资货币单位的可移动杠杆的类型的邮资计量表相结合使用，或者一组可按压的键，每个密钥对应于任何一个可能的货币单位的邮资。

摘要： A postage meter resetting apparatus includes a stepper motor as a first motive arrangement for turning the resetting shaft of a mechanical postage meter, another stepper motor as a second motive mechanism to enable or disable resetting by the first stepper motor. A lead screw, lead nut and linkage, driven by the second stepper motor, when resetting is authorized, moves an axially movable part of a coupling between the second stepper motor and the meter's axially movable resetting shaft, to bring the resetting gear on the shaft into engagement with a gear of the meter's descending register. An input to the first stepper motor, representing a variable amount of postage, effects turning of the resetting shaft and the engaged gears by amounts corresponding to the desired variable amount of postage to be added to the meter's descending register. An encoder coupled to the shaft of the first stepper motor provides an output indication of the amount that the shaft has turned. A CPU routine assures that the gear on the meter's resetting shaft has cleared a blocking pin and engaged the descending register gear prior to resetting by the first stepper motor. Another CPU routine clears jams when it is detected that the shaft has not been turned the amount desired.

摘要： A postage meter includes a keyboard for inputting postage information, a memory for storing the input postage information, a programmable read-only memory for storing standard postage indicia information, a dot matrix printer, the dot matrix printer comprising a staggered arrangement of a plurality of dot matrix printheads, and a controller which 1) retrieves the input postage information and the standard postage indicia, 2) combines the input postage information and the standard postage indicia information to form a postage indicia to be printed, 3) divides the formed postage indicia into equal portions wherein the formed postage indicia is divided by a number of the dot matrix printheads in the dot matrix printer, 4) routes divided portions to each of a plurality of dot matrix printheads, and 5) instructs each of the dot matrix printheads to print its portion of the divided postage indicia at a specific time such that upon completing the printing of the divided portion, a complete postage indicia is printed.

摘要： A system for remotely resetting a postage meter, by adding a variable amount of postage, includes a computerized central facility or "host", in telephone communication with the meter, which host verifies the meter's identity and ascertains the availability of funds, then sends to the meter an authorizing, unique, one-time-only combination, independent of the value of postage requested, and having a predetermined relation to a unique, one-time-only combination that the meter has generated and retained. The meter then compares the combination that it has generated with the combination received from the host. If the relationship is correct, for example, if the combination is the same, the meter introduces the additional postage requested.
