ABSTRACT:
In a method for generating a print format that is printed onto a carrier in a postage meter machine, the print format being composed of picture elements in the fashion of an xy-matrix to which picture element data are allocated in a memory, a microprocessor controlling the generation of the print format accesses a number of picture element datafiles. Picture element data that define an image element or a text element of the print format are combined in each picture element datafile. Each picture element datafile also has an identification code allocated to it under which the appertaining image element or text element can be found. The microprocessor also accesses a control datafile that contains a number of sub-image datafiles that respectively contain sub-image data that define a sub-image of the print format. The microprocessor processes the sub-image datafiles of the print format to be printed and, when processing the sub-image datafiles, employs the sub-image data for generating the print format from the picture element data of at least one picture element datafile identified by the respective reference code. The microprocessor ends the generation of the print format after the processing the sub-image datafiles.
