摘要： A method is provided for reprinting damaged mailpieces for use in a mailpiece inserter. The method comprising the steps of producing an object-oriented data file of the mailpiece content material including a scan code and storing the object-oriented data files in a reprint repository. The status of a mail run is tracked as mailpieces are fabricated and the results are recorded in a reprint file. The results record whether a mailpiece was successfully fabricated and reprint files are generated in connection with unsuccessfully fabricated mailpieces.

摘要： A method for introducing instructions/commands within or acting on the content material of a mail run data file. The method comprises the steps producing an object-oriented data file of the mailpiece content material and displaying a visual image thereof to the user. The visual image displayed spatially corresponds to the object oriented data file. Through the use of a graphical user input device, such as a point-and-click input device, the user defines a region of the visual image. Further, the user creates or selects a rule or expression indicative of a desired instruction/command in connection with the defined region. The rule or expression is represented in computer program code and operates a signal processor to perform the selected instructions/commands.

摘要： The invention is a system and method for producing a mail piece wherein the system includes at least one printer for printing documents and envelopes in response to signals generated by a host computer under control of an application program. In addition, the system includes: a mail finishing unit which forms the mail piece from the envelopes and documents; and, a control unit which controls the finishing unit to form each individual mail piece within the set of produced mail pieces. Each individual mail piece is comprised of attributes specific to that mail piece. The control unit receives signals generated by the host computer, parses the signals received therefrom, and extracts control signals embedded therein by the host computer. The control signals identify the individual attributes associated with each individual mail piece. The control unit responds to the extracted control signals by generating finishing control signals for the finishing unit to create the individual mail piece. The control unit is further programmed to extract print signals for controlling the print unit. The system user may designate a particular format or protocol to a document page which in turn identifies the page to the control unit as a control page, containing control signals whose elements are not to be printed but which in turn will direct the system in the production of the corresponding document which is to be included within the mail piece.
摘要翻译：本发明是一种用于生产邮件的系统和方法，其中系统包括至少一个用于在应用程序的控制下由主计算机产生的信号打印文档和信封的打印机。此外，该系统包括：邮件整理单元，其从信封和文档形成邮件; 以及控制单元，其控制整理单元在所生成的邮件集合内形成每个单独邮件。每个单独邮件由该邮件特有的属性组成。控制单元接收由主计算机产生的信号，解析从其接收的信号，并提取主计算机嵌入其中的控制信号。控制信号标识与每个单独邮件相关联的各个属性。控制单元通过产生整理单元的精整控制信号来响应所提取的控制信号以创建单个邮件。控制单元还被编程为提取用于控制打印单元的打印信号。系统用户可以将特定的格式或协议指定给文档页面，该文档页面又将作为控制页面的页面识别为控制页面，其包含其元素不被打印但仍将指导系统在生产中的控制信号将要包括在邮件中的相应文档。

摘要： A table will be generated for tracking each mailpiece in a mailing system having multiple document paths. Attribute data relating to a mailpiece will be stored in a memory while job data relating to a mailing job will also be stored in a memory. A sequence builder process will look at the attribute data and determine the motion profiles that are required to ensure the mailpiece obtains the desired attributes. The sequence builder then commands execution of the motion profiles.

摘要： A method for maintaining mailpiece integrity in a mailing system when a mechanical module experiences an error. For one category of errors, the mailing system may automatically recover from the error without operator intervention. For the remaining category of errors, the mailing system may recover from the error with minimum operator intervention, that is, the operator may be required to only remove the error producing mailpiece. A motion control processor for an error producing mechanical module will report a fault to its corresponding mailpiece builder task and the error detector task. Movement of at least the error producing mailpiece shall stop. The fault will be reported to the mailpiece builder tasks corresponding to the mechanical modules having no error condition. The mailing system shall suspend further processing of mailpieces upstream from the error producing mailpiece. For one category of errors, the mailing system will purge the error producing mailpiece from the error producing module without operator intervention. For the remaining category of errors, the operator will be required to remove at least the error producing mailpiece. State machines are then selected to perform system wide job recovery.

摘要： This invention utilizes a simple mechanical buffer that will hold material and a two stage software buffering technique that controls the mechanical buffer to act as a First In First Out mechanical mechanism that allows other system events to be triggered off of dynamic thresholds. The two stage software buffering technique consists of a simple software FIFO with rule based logic to control input into a primary queue input and a secondary reserve queue which holds information as soon as it arrives. The decision to move information from the secondary reserve queue into the primary queue is based upon specific rules that are dynamically executed. This permits the creation of a dynamic threshold and allows the reliable triggering of the systems events. The foregoing permits material that is being produced at one fixed speed to be synchronized with material that is produced at variable speeds. The foregoing also permits a first document laser printer that has a constant printing time and a second envelope printer that has a variable print time to be synchronized. Thus, the document may be printed with a laser printer and the envelope printed with an ink jet printer.
摘要翻译：本发明利用了一种容纳材料的简单机械缓冲器和一种控制机械缓冲器作为先入先出机械机构的两级软件缓冲技术，其允许其他系统事件从动态阈值触发。两级软件缓冲技术包括一个简单的基于规则的逻辑FIFO，用于将输入控制在主队列输入中，辅助保留队列一旦到达就保存信息。将信息从辅助预留队列移动到主队列中的决定基于动态执行的特定规则。这允许创建动态阈值并允许系统事件的可靠触发。上述允许以一个固定速度生产的材料与以可变速度产生的材料同步。上述内容还允许具有恒定打印时间的第一文件激光打印机和具有可同步的可变打印时间的第二信封打印机。因此，文件可以用激光打印机打印，并且信封用喷墨打印机打印。

摘要： A method and system for reformatting an ASCII or similar text file is provided, such that the resulting output can be easily manipulated, enhanced and postal coded. Text reformatting of the present invention uses easily defined set up data tables to read the input text file and then to direct extraction of information from the input text file for storage in a set of data base tables. Included in this information may be destination addresses, which can be optionally exported to address quality software for postal coding and presorting. The address data is then re-imported and a report is created using a standard report generator. The report may then be sent to a document finishing program for processing into a mail stream.

摘要： A system for producing mail pieces. The system includes a plurality of apparatus each having a first printer for printing documents and a second printer for printing envelopes and a mail finishing unit for receiving the printed documents from the first printer and the envelopes printed with corresponding addresses from the second printer and inserting the documents into the envelope to form and frank a mail piece, and a plurality of user input stations. The apparatus operates under the control of a single stream of job data from a mail center controller, where the job data includes a job header defining default mail piece attributes and mail piece records which include document data and address data, and which may include specific mail piece attribute data for each corresponding mail piece. The apparatus control mechanism partitions the data stream and controls the first printer to print the documents while controlling the second printer to separately print the envelopes which are moved along a separate path to an insert station where the mail piece is formed. The system also includes data stores of postal rates and of per item weights of items of materials used to form mail pieces which are used to calculate postage values for mail pieces.
