ABSTRACT:
A postage meter prints postage indicia onto envelopes using extendible segments. The postage meter includes a user interface for entering input information, a transfer means having extendible segments disposed thereon, the segments being arranged to form the postage indicia when extended, and an ink roller, which contacts extended ones of the segments so as to transfer ink from the ink roller to the extended ones of the segments. Also included in the postage meter are a sensor, which senses an envelope in the postage meter, and which outputs a signal which indicates that an envelope is present in the postage meter, and a controller. The controller (1) converts the input information into the postage indicia, (2) extends ones of the segments based on the postage indicia, and (3) activates the transfer means in response to the signal output by the sensor so that (i) extended segments receive ink by contacting the ink roller, and (ii) the extended segments transfer the ink received from the ink roller to the envelope.
