Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif dans lequel un expéditeur peut envoyer de grandes quantités ou lots de courrier. L'expéditeur 16 possède une unité de comptabilisation de sécurité, semblable à un appareil d'affranchissement, dans lequel une valeur d'affranchissement est placée par un poste central 14 qui communique également avec un centre de recharge à distance pour tenir compte des fonds transférés à l'unité de comptabilisation. Le poste central communique avec le poste d'expédition de manière à obtenir des données relatives au traitement du courrier toutes les fois que des fonds doivent être transférés à l'unité de comptabilisation. Le poste central peut également servir pour verrouiller ou déverrouiller le traitement du courrier au poste d'expédition. Des reçus peuvent également être fournis pour les transactions de financement. (CF DESSIN DANS BOPI)
