Abstract
A postage value determining scale includes a system processor, a weighing device which generates weight indicative signals, a display and a keyboard for operator entry of information relating to the determination of postage and one or more memories which store postage data. The keyboard includes a plurality of nonilluminated multifunction keys with specific keys being assigned for the entry of special services such as certified mail, c.o.d., special delivery and the like. Upon detecting a keyboard entry assigned for such purpose, the processor recalls and sequentially displays indicia of special services previously selected by the operator and optionally the fee amount of each selected service. After displaying indicia of all the special services selected, the processor thereafter re-enters the previously displayed indicia in the display.
