ABSTRACT:
A postage meter system of the type having postage value input selection means, a postage printing means with a settable printing element and a drive means coupled to said postage printing means for setting the postage printing element including a print element setting system. The element setting system employs the drive means such that the drive means is operable to drive said printing element at different operating speeds to set said postage printing element to a selected postage value. The print element setting system further includes a position detecting means and a control means. The position detecting means detects the actual position setting of the printing element. The control means is coupled to the input selection means and the drive means for controllably causing the drive means to change the position of the postage printing element from an initial position to a selected position corresponding to a prescribed position by the input selection means at a given setting speed and incrementally increasing the setting speed for each successive position change of the postage printing element up to a maximum setting speed. The control means is further coupled to the position detection means for comparing the actual position of the postage printing element to the selected position by the input selection means such that should the selected position and the detection position of said postage printing elements not correspond the control means shall position correct the postage printing element to the selected position and decrement the setting speed, setting the maximum setting thereto.
