Abstract
In a method for the operation of a postage meter machine jointly by a plurality of users, at least one message is allocated to each user and has at least one identifier that identifies the respective user to which the message is allocated. A control unit in the machine is supplied by a current user with information about that user's identifier when put into use. The control unit compares the information to the identifier and automatically uses the message allocated to the current user when imprinting postal matter for that user.
