MEMORY ADDRESS LOCATION SYSTEM FOR AN ELECTRONIC POSTAGE METER HAVING MULTIPLE NON-VOLATILE MEMORIES ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and associated apparatus is provided for using data stored in one non-volatile memory to locate the next memory address in which to write data in another non-volatile memory of an electronic postage meter, com- prising the steps of and associated apparatus for provid- ing a first non-volatile memory for storing data therein including cumulative piece count data corresponding to the number of completed postage transactions, providing a second non-volatile memory for storing accounting data sequentially therein for each one of a predetermined number of trip cycles of the postage meter which number corresponds to the number of individually addressable trip cycle memory locations in the second non volatile memory and defines a modulus of the second non-volatile memory, retrieving the cumulative piece count data from the first non-volatile memory during a power up cycle, dividing the cumulative piece count data by the modulus of the second non-volatile memory, and using the remainder resulting from the division to locate the next individually addressable trip cycle memory location in the sequence of memory locations in the second non-volatile mem- ory for writing the accounting data for the first trip cycle of the meter after completion of the power up cycle.
