Abstract (en)
A postage meter which includes a thermal print head (30) for printing indicia, postal value, and the like is disclosed. Thermal elements in the thermal print head are electronically pulsed in appropriate serially timed patterns to provide a complete thermally transferred image on a tape moving past the thermal head (3)). The tape moves from a spool (34) through guides (38,40) to the thermal head (30). A thermal transfer ribbon is passed from a supply spool (62) between the head (30) and the tape to a take-up spool (66).
