ABSTRACT:
A date-setting method for use in a postage meter having date wheels includes the steps of setting the date wheels, printing a date on a mail piece, requesting an input indicating whether the date printed on the mail piece is correct, receiving a response in the negative, receiving information indicative of the date printed on the mail piece, resetting the date wheels, logging a record indicative of the negative response and the resetting action, printing another date on a mail piece, requesting an input indicating whether the date printed on the mail piece is correct, receiving a response in the negative, receiving information indicative of the date printed on the mail piece, resetting the date wheels, logging another record indicative of the negative response and the resetting action; and annunciating the records indicative of negative responses. Another date-setting method for use in a postage meter having date wheels capable of printing a date on a mail piece includes the steps of setting at least one date wheel, waiting until after the first time that postage has been printed on a mail piece subsequent to the setting of a date wheel, and thereafter, requesting an input indicating whether the date printed on the mail piece is correct.
