Abstract

Dans un système de postage permettant l'affranchissement d'une empreinte d'affranchissement servant de preuve d'envoi, les données postales, y compris l'affranchissement, doivent être communiquées par ce type d'empreinte. Ainsi, les données postales sont classées en (a) données postales invariables, par exemple, un identificateur identifiant le système de postage, lesquelles ne sont pas affectées par une opération d'affranchissement, et en (b) données postales variables, par exemple, l'affranchissement, pouvant changer d'une opération d'affranchissement à une autre. Pour éviter l'attente aux guichets postaux, les données postales invariables sont prédéterminées pour une impression initiale de l'empreinte d'affranchissement, et les données postales variables sont déterminées et définies pour une impression en temps réel. Pendant l'impression de l'empreinte d'affranchissement, les données postales invariables et variables sont présentées dans cet ordre dans un ou plusieurs symboles.
