Abstract
A device for setting the position of printwheels (5) included in a removable head (2) of a postage meter. A pivotable control module (17) is provided in the base (1), and is mounted on resilient supports (29). It carries motors (M1, M2, M3, M4) mounted in a circular arc around a cylindrical block (16) of driving gear wheels (R3). When the module (17) is pivoted forwards, it meshes with drive systems (20) having gear wheels (19, 21, 22, 23) that enable the printwheels (5) to be rotated.
