Abstract
A system, method and apparatus for preparing mailpieces. A inserter system for assembling mailpieces in a mailing job is controlled in accordance with mailpiece records in a corresponding mailing control file. The inserter system scans control inserts included in the mailpieces fed into the mailpiece accumulations at a downstream station to verify corresponding mailpiece records.
Initially the inserter system reads an initial, dummy control insert to access the mailing control file to initialize the upstream stations of the inserter system.
Initially the inserter system reads an initial, dummy control insert to access the mailing control file to initialize the upstream stations of the inserter system.
