Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006034794A1] The invention relates to a method for franking mail, according to which a franking stamp is requested by an operating and printing unit of a plurality of operating and printing units, said franking stamp being produced in a franking unit, made accessible for the operating unit, and applied to the mail in the operating and printing unit. The inventive method is characterised in that a transaction request is transmitted by the operating and printing unit to the franking unit where it is processed; the result of the processing of the transaction request is transmitted from the franking unit to the operating and printing unit; the result of the processing of the transaction request is recorded and stored, at least in extracts, in an autonomous protocol unit; and a franking stamp is applied to the mail using the result of the transaction request. The invention also relates to a device used to carry out the method.
