Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005069230A1] The invention relates to a method for franking postal items. The franking note is prepared on a central system (ZS) and is then transferred to a client system to be printed out. The method is characterised in that the franking note is transferred from the central system (ZS) to the client system in two steps. In a first step, an invalid pre-print of the franking note is transferred and in the second step, the valid franking note is transferred to the central franking system by feeding it back to the central system (ZS), said feedback being controlled by the printing process. The invention also relates to a suitable device for carrying out said method.
