PROCESS FOR MAILING ELECTRONICALLY STORED CONTENTS OF LETTERS

摘要

The process for mailing the electronically stored contents of letters by means of flat information carriers, for example chip cards, uses an information carrier that incorporates a plurality of memory areas having different levels of access authorization. A memory or part of a memory is provided exclusively for mailing data. The contents of this memory are compared with a postage-rate table, a franking value is calculated and charged, and a franking impression is made on the item of mail.
