Microcomputer-controlled electronic postage meter having print wheels set by separate d.c. motors

摘要: An electronic postage meter is disclosed which comprises a plurality of print devices each individually settable to desired position so that the may value; d.c. motors, one for devices, different motors being coupled setting respective device position; actual sensing means providing signals related positions devices; and microcomputer means. The in response from means, value programming sequentially controls set printing value. includes single microcompressor performs all control functions including time-intensive closed loop accounting. loops include low cost, bandwidth incremental quadrature encoders.
