<p>A postage meter system includes a printer (32) adapted to print postage and a computer (44) coupled to the printer (32) to account for postage printed by the printer (32). A power supply (72) is coupled to the computer (44) for energizing the computer to operate. The power supply includes a winding (66) adapted to energize the power supply when magnetic flux is caused to pass through the winding. The power supply further includes a magnetic flux path (68) for coupling magnetic flux to the winding (66). A housing (16) encloses the power supply (72), computer (44) and printer (32). The housing (16) includes a portion (70) adapted to allow the passage of magnetic energy into the interior thereof to energize the magnetic circuit.</p><p>The system also includes a mailing machine base (12) adapted to engage the postage meter (10) and includes a power supply system (40) which energizes the mailing machine (12) and generates magnetic energy such that when the postage meter (10) is mounted on the mailing machine base (12) the magnetic energy will enter the postage meter (10) to energize winding (66).</p> |
