Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006032332A1] The invention relates to a method for franking postal items. The franking note is requested by a control unit, is produced in a security module which makes the control unit accessible and is printed out by means of the control unit and/or a printing unit. The method is characterised in that a printing model of the franking note is produced and encrypted such that the printing model is decrypted in the control unit in order to print out the franking note, and that an instruction relating to the printing is stored after the franking note has been printed. The printing of the franking note is blocked in the event of the presence of the instruction relating to the printing. The invention also relates to a device which is suitable for carrying out said method.
