User-sealed postage printing apparatus and method comprises a printing device, operable to print a postage indicium and a processor. A weighscale is connected to the processor by an analog to digital converter, for example. A cavity for receiving a secure metering device (SMD) is provided. The cavity has an electrical connector for establishing a connection between the processor and the SMD. The SMD, once inserted, cannot be removed without being rendered unusable for postage printing and/or leaving visible evidence of tampering. |
