ABSTRACT:
An electronic postal meter is provided with a date setter having an access door coupled to a switch. The position of the switch is signalled to the internal computer, in order to effect a warning indication if the access or dater door is open. The computer further inhibits operation of the postal meter upon the initial application of power to the postal meter, until the dater door has been opened and closed at least once. Means coupled to the computer are provided for enabling operation of the meter when the dater door is closed. This allows the meter to be enabled for operation without first opening and then closing the dater door each time the meter is turned on. The enabling means may be located remote from the meter and may comprise a remote keyboard having a check date warning override key.
