Zusammenfassung:	System and method for adding addressing information to an indicium printed by a closed system metering device (150). A scanning device (120) is coupled to a closed system postage meter (150) for scanning addressing information (10) printed on a mailpiece (5). The addressing information (10) is combined with other information relating to the postage payment for the mailpiece to obtain postal data relating to the mailpiece (5). The postal data, including the addressing information is used to generate an indicium for the mailpiece (5). The indicium includes cryptographic evidencing of postage payment. The closed system metering device prints the indicium on the mailpiece (5).
