Definitions

the invention relates to an arrangement for generating a printed image for franking and postmarking machines according to the preamble of Patent claim 1 specified type.
the printed image is in particular for the use of postage meters or mailing machines or computers with mail processing function (PC meter) suitable and the carrier requirements accordingly selectable.
PC meter mail processing function
German Utility Model DE 92 19 183 U1 discloses an arrangement for altering the cliché text part for franking machines. With a printer module, a fully electronically generated franking image is printed, which has an electronically replaceable advertising cliché and an editable via keyboard keyboard text part. The advertising cliche is located at a second position to the left of a first position intended for franking.
German utility model DE 295 22 024 U1 US 5,852,813
An actuating means is used to enter a command to call an advertisement or information transmitted during a communication (carrier INFO).
actuating means are provided to change the appearance of the franking imprint in predetermined areas.
the appearance of the stamp image or franking imprint can thus be adjusted according to the current requirements of the needs of different carriers.
Another method for producing a printed image which is printed on a carrier in a postage meter machine, is known from EP 762334 B1.
a print image consisting of several elements can be assigned different security levels (DE 199 31 962 A1).
the hitherto customary for franking printed image has from right to left on a value or franking stamp followed by a date or city stamp. So far, only a first position top right on the letter were selected for all mail carriers (DE 199 13 066 A1). This position may be moved to the left in an advantageous manner for large letter formats.
a method for the mail processing and mail processing system is known, with an automatic mail acceptance in special task stations and staggered mail processing, starting with a capture of shipping data and an oversight of the mail with a machine-readable mark and post office storage in the loading stations.
a first (private) mail carrier undertakes a transport of the marked mail to a remote dispensing station and transmits the shipping data associated with the tag.
the remote delivery station comprises at least one franking device with a memory, in which via smart card the shipping data assigned to the mark are transmitted.
the postage is franked at the delivery station of the first (private) postal carrier. It is advantageous that the feeding stations need only be equipped with marking printers but not with expensive franking printers.
the franking of the mail item to be transported can take place separately from the mail item according to the tariff of the second carrier.
This has the advantage for a first carrier that he can deliver franked mail for his service and can negotiate a volume discount with a second carrier.
the first carrier may also negotiate a volume discount with other carriers.
the franking device of the dispensing station can be set for a large number of different carriers. Their delivery requires in the delivery station a storage system with a controllable switch and a plurality of shelves, each being assigned to the respective carrier.
the franking device of the delivery station is programmed to determine for each transport task the carrier with the cheapest tariff.
the franking device is based on the well-known franking system Jetmail® of the manufacturer Francotyp Postalia AG & Co.KG consisting of an automatic feeding station (DE 19912807 A1, DE 19913065 C2 and DE 19913974 C1), which, however, by a barcode scanning device, for example of the type LS4100 the company Datalogic, is completed (DE 19925194 A1).
the invention is based on the object, an arrangement for generating to create a printed image for franking and postmark machines.
the production of printed images with an array of elements is intended meet the different requirements of the carriers.
the invention is further based on the object, any mail pieces a first postal carrier, in particular unsorted mixed mail to process.
a scan of a preprinted address in the address range the mail piece is to be made possible at the first mail carrier become.
an evaluation of the address information is carried out to to get a sorting information, what for the first postal carrier sorted mail pieces a discount at a second mail carrier allows.
the print image printed by the first postal carrier should be the Possibility to include sorting information.
One Section of the print image is for a print to a first position Freimachungszone and another section is for a second Position to be printed special postal information provided the section that is valid for mailing is the transport company according to a variety is selectable.
the special postal information (license plate, date and Identifier) can now be used in the section instead of the advertising cliché a second position to the left of the first position.
a logo can be placed in the first position a sorting info will be printed.
the first position remain unprinted.
a shipping item information can be sent to a third item to be printed.
the electronic control means of the machine connected to mail processing means determine which a mailpiece processing and sorting at the (private) first Allow postal carriers.
the aforesaid mail processing means are a computer and the stations of a franking system that are operatively connected to one another to enable mail item sorting at the first mail carrier.
the computer contains address evaluation means.
the stations comprise at least a scanner module and a transport module, which are arranged post-upstream of a franking machine, wherein the stations and the franking machine are connected to the computer and are controllable in dependence on its means for address evaluation.
the scanner module allows OCR scanning of a pre-printed address in the address area of the mail piece and the address evaluation means allow to evaluate the address information to obtain sorting information, depending on the computational time required and other parameters such as available computational power two-level superimposed speed control of the transport of mailpieces in the franking system.
a second transport module and at least one sorting module are arranged, wherein the aforementioned stations are connected to the computer and are controllable in dependence on its means for address evaluation.
the mail processing means may advantageously comprise a scanner module, two transport modules and a plurality of sorting modules which are controllable by the computer in dependence on its address evaluation means.
the first transport module mailpieces standing on a conveyor belt are transported to the franking machine at a controllable speed.
FIG. 1 shows a letter envelope with a printed image of a private mail carrier printed from a franking machine to a second position.
the known franking and post-stamping machines have printer-controlling electronic control means and storage means for data which are printed in predetermined sections of the print image on a strip or on a mail piece.
