Abstract
A system (10) for accepting and storing items for subse-quent pickup by a commercial carrier may include a storage area (14) which is defined by an outer housing (12), and a cus-tomer interface area (16) that includes a weighing unit (22) and a unit, such as a magnetic card reader (30), for accepting pay-ment from a customer, The system (10) may also include a con-trol system (100) that accepts address information from the customer through a key pad (28), and then instructs a printer (26) to print an address label for the item. The system (10) in-cludes safeguards which prevent unauthorized access to the storage area (14), and will not provide a receipt to the customer until internal sensors (112, 114, 116) verify deposit of the item.
A manifest printer (90) may also be provided for the benefit of the commercial carriers who service the system (10), to print out a summary of the transaction that pertain to each carrier.
A manifest printer (90) may also be provided for the benefit of the commercial carriers who service the system (10), to print out a summary of the transaction that pertain to each carrier.
