Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02092351A2] Techniques for dispensing postage from a kiosk using a communications network. A method for obtaining a postage stamp at a kiosk, where the kiosk includes a computer system and a printer, includes a user inputting a request for the postage stamp into the kiosk. The request is sent to a server via a communications network. The kiosk then receives a markup language response back from the server, and processes the markup language response to obtain an indicium. The printer prints the indicium on a label, where the label includes one or more security features, thereby providing the postage stamp.
