ABSTRACT:
A system and method for printing a postage meter stamp, including a desired postage amount and encrypted information, onto a piece of mail. A user takes a postal storage device to the post office in order to obtain a replenishment of the amount of postage stored within the postage storage device. A desired amount of postage is entered into the storage device 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 user's processor-based system automatically calculates the required postage for a piece of mail based upon a set of parameters pertaining to that piece of mail. Additional information, such as addresses, may also be printed onto an envelope, a label, a card, a letter, etc., along with the postage meter stamp through the use of a word processor program coupled to the present invention.
