ABSTRACT:
A system and method for printing a postage meter stamp, including a desired postage amount, onto a piece of mail. A user obtains a touch memory utility ("TMU") button from the Post Office in order to obtain an amount of postage stored within the TMU button. A desired amount of postage is entered into the TMU button by a postal employee through a processor-based system. The user is then able to access this stored postage at the user's location through a complementary processor-based system. The processor-based system automatically calculates the required postage for a piece of mail based upon a set of parameters pertaining to the mail. Address information may also be printed onto an envelope along with the postage meter stamp through the use of a word processor program coupled to the present invention.
