Abstract
A method for operating a postage meter and addressing machine includes request steps for entering at least a shipping destination address, a step for generating the print image for the address field and a step for starting the printout of the address. By nesting information processes and motion processes in intervening steps before the printing of the franking image, a time-optimized executive sequence is achieved overall when printing the address and the franking image.
