ABSTRACT:
A setting mechanism for sequentially setting the print wheels in a postage printing device. The setting mechanism is electrically controlled so as to interface the postage printing device with a computerized or electronic postage system. The setting mechanism comprises a main rotatable driving gear which is slidable upon a splined shaft so as to individually, operatively engage a plurality of print wheel driving racks in a sequential fashion. A setting linkage connected to the main driving gear positions the gear into individually engaging with a plurality of rotatable shafts individually driving each of the print wheel driving racks. A stepper motor is connected to the splined shaft which turns the splined shaft, and which in turn rotatably drives the main drive gear. The setting linkage is actuated by means of a pair of solenoids.
