ABSTRACT:
A postage value determining scale includes a scale for determining the weight of an item to be mailed, a system processor for determining the applicable postage value and a display for displaying a breakdown of such postage value, all inter-connected by a common data bus. Another embodiment of the disclosed invention further includes a keyboard having a keyset limited to numeric keys and function keys for entering additional information such as class of service, destination, etc. into the system processor to be used by the system processor in determining the applicable postage value; the system processor transmitting such information to the display. Preferably, the display includes a display processor, a display device operatively connected to the display processor for displaying alphanumeric information and a memory operatively connected to the display processor. The memory stores data defining display routines and formats and alphanumeric data codes corresponding to the various components of the postage values. The display processor uses these codes to display the components of the determined postage value in a predetermined format in alphanumeric form.
