Abstract

An incremental position encoder and method are disclosed herein for a close loop position control system, for example, for positioning a printing device in an electronic postage meter. The incremental position encoder and method includes three channels, first and second of which provide signals for coarse position determination and first or second and third of which provide signals for fine position determination.
