Abstract

In a printing machine with a rotary drum (1) for franking envelopes (4), each print operation is performed at a constant rotational speed in a given direction, whereafter the direction of rotation of the drum (1) is reversed so that for the next print operation, the rotational speed of the drum (1) may be increased in said direction over a greater angle to achieve said constant speed.
