Patent

CA 2247584

A postage meter (franking machine) is provided having a limited number of physical (mechanical) keys associated with frequently performed tasks, and a touch-sensitive display of limited size with regions associated with rarely performed tasks. Optionally a receiving area is provided which can receive a printed sheet, and a touch-sensitive area is juxtaposed with the sheet, permitting user selection of items on the printed sheet. By means of a scrolled display of subsets of a character set, the user may readily create text strings on the touch-sensitive display of limited size. A history is kept of frequently selected print parameters, and the user can scroll through a list derived from the history.

Cette invention concerne une affranchisseuse comportant un nombre restreint de touches mécaniques correspondant aux fonctions les plus fréquentes, et un petit écran d'affichage tactile pour les fonctions rarement utilisées. Cette machine peut ou non comporter un récepteur pour l'insertion d'une feuille imprimée, associé à une plage tactile permettant la sélection d'items sur la feuille. En faisant défiler des sous-groupes de caractères, l'opérateur peut aisément composer des mots à l'écran tactile. Les inscriptions les plus fréquemment imprimées sont conservées en mémoire et l'opérateur peut en faire défiler la liste.
