A method for identifying postage meter and monetary value stamping machines from printed patterns thereof includes performing microprocessor-controlled printing processes in the machine for forming a printing pattern including a monetary value stamp, a data stamp and a printing block from stored data and current data only immediately prior to being printed and temporarily storing the printing pattern until being printed. An identification characteristic is imprinted in the open in addition to the pattern to be printed. The temporarily stored printing pattern and the identification characteristic are supplied together to a printer control for generating a final printing pattern.
