Abstract
A franking machine system is disclosed in which a signal is transmitted for reception only in a predetermined location. A franking machine intended to be operated at the predetermined location is inoperative to carry out franking operations unless it receives the signal transmitted to the predetermined location. Accordingly a franking machine intended for operation at the predetermined location cannot be operated for franking mail if it is moved away from that location.
