A postage printing system (100) includes a printer (160) and a postage meter (120). The printer (160) includes a memory (164), a print device (166) for printing a postal indicia and a controller in operative communication with the printer memory (164) and the print device (166). The postage meter (120) includes a memory (132, 142)and is physically separable from and in operative communication with the printer (120). The printer controller (162) detects a fault condition, stores a record of the fault condition in a history file within the printer memory (164) and, following a successful mutual authentication between the printer (160) and the postage meter (120), uploads the history file from the printer memory (164) to the postage meter memory for subsequent reporting to a data center (50). <IMAGE> |
