ABSTRACT:
An electronic postal meter includes a unitary structure having a settable printing device, an electronic accounting unit and a control unit preferably having a keyboard. The meter includes a mechanical input for drive by a conventional mechanical meter base, as well as a shutter controlled by the shutter lever of the meter base, for blocking the drive input. An interposer for also blocking movement of the shutter is operated by a solenoid, and a sensor is provided to indicate lack of operation of the interposer for a given period of time, to provide an indication that the interposer is jammed against the shutter, necessitating a resetting of the meter base.
