ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed which is a tape feeding, cutting and ejecting apparatus for a mailing machine which has a feed deck for envelopees and a postage meter for printing postage indicia on successive envelopees as they are fed along the feed deck. The tape feeding, cutting and ejecting apparatus is mounted in the mailing machine above the feed deck and adjacent to the postage meter on the side thereof opposite to the direction of the feed of envelopees for feeding successive finite lengths of tape to the postage meter for printing of postage indicia on a portion thereof and for cutting and ejecting the printed portion of the finite lengths of tape from the mailing machine. The apparatus includes separate drive mechanism for feeding the tape toward the postage meter and for ejecting the severed portion of the tape from the mailing machine, and the drive mechanism for the latter functions also controls the operation of a rotary knife for severing the tape in timed relationship to the feed of the printed tape away from the postage meter.
