Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0658861A1] A method for operating a franking machine, in which the franking machine is used jointly by several users, is described. Each user is assigned at least one printing block (10, 12, 14) which has at least one marking identifying the particular user. Information on the marking is fed to a control (16). The control (16) compares the information with the marking and, if they correspond, automatically assigns the printing block (K4) to the particular user. <IMAGE>
