ELECTRONIC POSTAGE METER PRINT WHEEL SETTING OPTIMIZATION SYSTEM Abstract of the Disclosure A postage printing mechanism is provided with settable postage printing elements. A drive mechanism is coupled to the postage printing device for setting the postage printing mechanism settable postage printing elements. The drive mechanism is operable to drive the postage printing mechanism settable postage printing elements at different operating speeds to set the postage printing elements to selected postage value to be printed. Control system is coupled to the drive mechanism for controlling the drive mechanism to set the postage mechanism settable postage printing elements to the selected postage value and for controlling the speed of opera- tion with which the drive mechanism drives the postage printing means settable postage printing elements to the selected postage value to be printed. A position detecting system is coupled between postage value selection and the postage print- ing mechanism and is further coupled to the control system, for detecting the actual setting of the postage printing mechanism settable postage printing element setting and allowing control means to verify setting system. The control system is operable in response to print element setting error information to control the speed at which the drive mechanism operates to drive the postage printing mechanism settable postage printing elements to a selected postage value. A method is also provided for increasing the setting speed of the value selection mechanism of a postage printing device. -2- The method includes detecting whether the setting at each of a series of speed results in a proper setting of the print elements of the postage printing mechanism to the value intended and reducing the setting speed of the value selection mechanism of the postage printing device when predetermined setting error information is detected.
