ABSTRACT:
A postage meter conversion apparatus is disclosed that will convert a mechanical, lever operated postage meter into an electrically controlled postage meter. The conversion apparatus is easily assembled and disassembled from a standard lever operated postage meter. Each lever of the meter is operated in a sequential manner. The conversion apparatus is so constructed that only one lever of the meter can be actuated at any time in the sequence. Optical monitors are provided to monitor the operation of the conversion unit so that any possible errors in the setting of the postage amount may be determined. The conversion apparatus can be used to make the mechanical meter compatible in an electrical environment containing equipment such as a computer, a digital scale, and other postage system processing devices.
