Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0717379A2] The fraud prevention system prevents manipulation of the recorded postal charges during transmission of the latter to a remote data centre, using a control device with a microprocessor which verifies the authorisation of the user via a number of given criteria and monitors the data communication between the machine and the data centre. Pref. a specific key combination for each franking machine is stored at the data centre, which is only known to an authorised person, used for verification of the user before a refund chip card is acceptable.
