Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0231452A2] A microprocessor system suitable for an electronic postage arrangement includes a microprocessor (10) and register means (20, 21) for storing accounting data. Sensors (50, 51, 52) are provided for detecting operating conditions in the system and the microprocessor (10) has a software routine stored in permanent memory (11) for periodic checking of the sensors. If the sensor outputs do not correspond with a unique code stored in permanent memory (11), an error condition is indicated.
