<p>A mail processing system includes one or more processing devices operative to perform executable operations. The system further includes or accesses numerous devices containing consumable items used therein. In the mail processing system, the operating speed of the system is calculated using one or more various profile techniques. The system also determines the remaining capacity or amount of the consumable in the system. Based on the computed operating speed, the system calculates a prediction term predicting the expiration of the corresponding consumable. From this prediction term, an estimated time to expire is computed to predict when the consumable will expire, thereby insuring any mailing projects may be timely completed.</p> |
