Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0496575A2] A complex machine, such as a mail-processing machine or postage meter, provided with one or more displays (e.g. 59-68) which mimic the machine configuration or the layout of print elements, with control switches (e.g. 101-105) located adjacent the displays in locations corresponding to the machine components or print elements that they respectively control. The displays are constantly on with indicators lit showing the current state of the machine or the expected printout. This greatly facilitates operation and control of the machine or meter even by unskilled operators.
