Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1622090A2] The method involves determining volume of ink consumed, and destroying one of the unused nozzles of a residual ink level counter every time a print module is mounted on a different postage meter base. The unused nozzle of the counter is destroyed every time the volume of ink consumed exceeds a predetermined ink level. Operation of the print module is disabled, when all of the unused nozzles of the counter are destroyed. An independent claim is also included for a postage meter for disabling a disposable print module.
