<p>The postage meter includes a control arrangement with a microprocessor (91) which reads a card number stored in an inserted chip card, and loads and executes an associated application function from a program memory (92). The association of listed application functions is stored in a non-volatile memory (94, 95), and is arbitrarily modified by an authorized user. The postage meter includes a chip card writing/reading unit (70) connected with a control arrangement (90), and a non-volatile memory (94, 95) with memory areas (A, B) for an association between listed application functions and a chip card. The control arrangement enables a calibration of at least one application from a number of applications in response to a chip card inserted in the chip card writing/reading unit. A microprocessor (91) of the control arrangement reads a chip card number stored in the chip card, and loads and executes an associated application function from a program memory (92). An authorized user arbitrarily modifies the association of listed application functions.</p> |
