Abstract: Method allowing a mailing system to frank in advance and manage a large number of rate tables stored in the mailing system, and in particular providing the possibility to frank mail in advance using a new future rate table and to come back later to franking with today's date and using a previous rate table, and including the main steps: provision of a control module, which can store more than two rate tables in a non-volatile memory accessible by the control module, provision of a volatile memory which can store the active rate table that is currently used by the mailing system for franking mail pieces, selection by the control module of the active rate table amongst the rate tables stored in a non-volatile memory when the mailing system is powered on and loading of this active rate table by the control module in volatile memory, initiation by the control module of the change of the active rate table triggered by determined events, selection by the control module of a new rate table based on the franking date defined by the operator or by the mailing system and the application date of the new rate table.

Abstract: A postal item collating system is disclosed. The system includes a postal item feeding path (3), a plurality of grippers (8) receptive of a postal item (2) from the feeding path(3), and a drive (11) for driving the plurality of grippers (8) along a circulation path (10). A collector (12) is disposed downstream from the postal item feeding path(3) and removes a received postal item (2) from a gripper (8) as it proceeds past the stationary collector (12). A controller (21) in signal communication with the drive (11) is responsive to a property signal (31, 34) based upon a property of the received postal item (2) to adjust a velocity of the string of grippers (8).
