Abstract

The present invention relates to a procedure for inputting data into a franking machine prior to the initiation of a selected print function, a system for franking mail, and a system for generating a franking image that is in each instance associated with a cost centre. The procedure includes the following steps:

- automatic change of the last status of stored data contents in a franking machine for its set-up within a specified timeframe after switch-on by means of a first transmission device (10) and/or - automatic input of an account number for the user's cost centre and/or a print function or the number of a print function into a memory area of the memory device (3) of the franking machine, by means of an additional transmission device (13). Within the framework of a dialogue, data for the ICC card number Card #, for the cost centre number KST
#, and for the icon number AD # is read out by the franking machine from the unprotected memory area of the card or, after automatic provision of a password is read out from the protected memory area of the card and then used within the franking machine to set up the cost centre and the associated advertising icon.
