Abstract (en)
A postage metering system includes a printer for printing an indicia. Information is stored and adapted to generate signals for causing the printer to print a selected one of a plurality of postal indicia. A fault detection arrangement is coupled to the printer for detecting faults in the printer. The printer is caused to print a selected one of the plurality of indicia depending upon the fault sensed. The indicia may be a composite indicia formed from a plurality of portions of stored postal indicia. The size and position of the indicia and indicia elements, which may be printed or bar code information, may be altered in location and size, if desired, based on the detected fault in the printer.
