Franking features

Article Abstract:

Franking machines provide users with an efficient and fast means of paying for postal services. At the heart of the machine is the meter, which records the date on which the item was sent and the postage used. All franking machine meters contain ascending registers and are tested by the UK's Royal Mail before they are introduced to the market. An overview of the main features available on franking machines is presented.
