摘要： The invention is a method of right justifying a line in an address field to be printed on a mail piece. A list of addresses is submitted as part of a mail piece print job, and a first address is selected from the list. The printing system initializes the vertical edge of the address field; and, after initialization one or more fonts are selected for printing the address field on the mail piece. The address field is scanned by the printing system and an end of line position of the Optional Endorsement Line (OEL) is determined relative to the right vertical edge of the print field. If the end of the line is past the initialized right edge, then the end of line position becomes the new vertical edge delineation and the line is a justified line. If, however, the end of line position is not past the vertical edge, then the initialized edge is retained as the right-most reference point of the print field. Each of the subsequent lines in the address field is scanned for length and an end of line position determined. If the length of the subsequent line exceeds the length of the OEL, then the OEL is extended by adding characters until its length is equal to the length of the longest subsequent line. After scanning each of the lines in the address field for length, the justified line is printed, then each of the subsequent lines of the address field are printed.
摘要翻译：本发明是一种在地址字段中右键对齐要打印在邮件上的行的方法。作为邮件打印作业的一部分提交地址列表，并从列表中选择第一个地址。打印系统初始化地址字段的垂直边; 并且在初始化之后，选择一个或多个字体来打印邮件上的地址字段。地址字段由打印系统扫描，并且可选签注行（OEL）的行尾位置相对于打印区域的右垂直边缘确定。如果线的末端超过初始化的右边缘，则线位置的结束将变为新的垂直边缘描绘，并且线是对齐线。然而，如果行位置的结束不超过垂直边缘，则初始化的边缘被保留为打印区域的最右边的参考点。扫描地址字段中的每个后续行，并确定行尾位置的长度。如果后续行的长度超过OEL的长度，则通过添加字符来扩展OEL，直到其长度等于最长后续行的长度。扫描地址字段中的每一行的长度后，打印对齐的行，然后打印地址字段的每个后续行。

摘要： The invention is a method for creating a mailpiece object. The method includes encapsulating a software control within an object to form a mailpiece object, wherein the mailpiece object is OLE enabled. Encapsulation of the software control provides a software application with a set of mailpiece production capabilities when the mailpiece object is embedded within the application. The method begins with the instantiation of the mailpiece object which establishes a programming interface for the object. The properties of the mailpiece object are then established by: placing a set of object methods; a set of mailpiece production functionalities; and, a set of data tables within the mailpiece object by utilizing the programming interface. A human interface is next established and placed within the mailpiece object by utilizing the programming interface. The mailpiece object is then embedded within a software application; and the embedded mailpiece object is utilized to produce a mailpiece under direction of the software application. Once embedded in the one or more software applications selected by the data processing system and the system user, the embedded mailpiece object becomes an OLE enabled OCX and, the OCX further includes a set of pre-determined mailpiece production functions and a property setting comprising selectable functionality for one or more postal markets.

摘要： The invention is a method and system of capturing a destination address from a label print stream in a data processing system which is capable of supporting an object oriented programming environment. The method begins with the initiation of a print stream from a label application. A virtual driver is selected as the intended destination device of the print stream. The virtual driver directs the print stream to a print intercept automation server (PIAS). The PIAS causes the system to display on a monitor a print field selection. The system operator selects an envelope print field from the print intercept automation server. The envelope print field is a set of objects established in the object oriented environment and comprises a mailpiece OCX and an indicia printing control object. The print stream is then parsed to extract a set of address data defining a destination address from the print stream by the print automation server. The parsing routine comprises instructions which control parsing the print stream to identify address data resident in the print stream. The instructions further facilitate the compiling of an address list comprising the address data. The parsed address data is then applied to the selected envelope print field; and the envelope is then printed.

摘要： The invention is a method and system for determining an address from a print stream. Address determination begins by initiating the print stream at a remote application. The print stream is transmitted through a graphical driver interface to a virtual driver where a system operator can select a data interface mode such as an eavesdrop mode and an intercept mode. The eavesdrop mode allows the virtual driver to pass the print stream through to the output device while producing a duplicate copy of the print stream for transmission to a server which is linked to an address parsing module for parsing the print stream. The intercept mode allows the virtual driver to pass the print stream directly to the server for parsing the print stream. The server will in turn pass the print stream to an output device such as a printer or monitor over transmission means. Parsing of the print stream to obtain address data is performed in accordance with instructions resident in the module. The address data is then placed into an address list or database. The selection of the address parsing module is further based upon the address characteristics required by the system user. The characteristics are defined by creating an address data profile comprised of tokens and wherein the tokens further define a characteristic of an address. The address parsing module can then be selected as based upon its particular address format which can be representative of a particular carrier.
摘要翻译：本发明是一种用于从打印流确定地址的方法和系统。地址确定开始于在远程应用程序启动打印流。打印流通过图形驱动程序接口发送到虚拟驱动程序，系统操作员可以选择数据接口模式，例如窃听模式和拦截模式。窃听模式允许虚拟驱动程序将打印流传递到输出设备，同时产生打印流的重复副本以传输到链接到地址解析模块以用于解析打印流的服务器。拦截模式允许虚拟驱动程序将打印流直接传递到服务器以解析打印流。服务器将依次通过传输方式将打印流传送到诸如打印机或监视器之类的输出设备。根据驻留在模块中的指令来执行打印流的解析以获得地址数据。然后将地址数据放入地址列表或数据库。地址解析模块的选择还基于系统用户所要求的地址特征。通过创建由令牌组成的地址数据简档来定义特征，并且其中令牌进一步限定地址的特征。然后可以基于其可以代表特定载波的特定地址格式来选择地址解析模块。

摘要： A method and system for recovering addresses in an address printing system is provided. A resume marker is set at the current location in the print buffer, used to buffer the addresses for printing, from which the next address will be read for printing. The address in the buffer location preceding the location where the resume marker is set is reprinted. The user can compare the reprinted address to the mail pieces already processed to determine if it is a duplicate. If not a duplicate, the address in the next preceding location can be reprinted. This processing continues until a duplicate address is printed, indicating that the address printing system properly printed all of the previous addresses in the address list up to the point of the duplicate. The print job will then automatically continue from the location where the resume marker was set.

摘要： Handling of undeliverable mail is improved so that mailers may take appropriate action to respond to nondelivery of mailpieces. Returned mail is received from a postal authority. Each mailpiece of the returned mail was part of a respective mailing and was determined not to be deliverable by the postal authority. The mailer determines for each mailpiece at least one of (a) the respective mailing to which the mailpiece belonged and (b) the reason why the mailpiece was found to be undeliverable. The mailer selects a course of action based on one or both of the results of these determinations. Returned mailpieces may be sorted by the mailings from which they come.
