Labeling Machine Processing Considerations
High-speed mail production equipment often includes mechanisms to control mailpiece movement and easily identify
package, sack or tray breaks. Also, this equipment will often reverse the output order, making the intended first
piece output actually be the last. Depending on equipment and the nature of the mailing, it can be necessary to
output multi-up labels in orders other than left-right, top-bottom.
Mail Manager 2010 supports most machine-readable scan marks or inkjet file formats to control conveyor
movement and easily identify container breaks. Further, it provides for predefined or user-defined visual
container markings for equipment that does not have the capability. The output order is easily specified such
that the final sequence is in the order required by the Postal Service. Mail Manager 2010 allows flexible
sequencing to allow what is commonly referred to as North-South label sequencing and even provides the capability
to print multiple-across cards or forms that are vertically stacked and later cut, while maintaining the proper order.
Maximizing Label-Printing Performance
Physically printing labels is a common bottleneck in high-volume mail workflows. Mail Manager 2010 has the unique
capability to split the label output across two or more printers while still maintaining the proper sequence for
each. The more printers you add, the faster your productivity — without compromises.
Additional Presorted Output Capabilities
When printing outside the regular mailing workflow — for example, from a high-volume digital printer
with third-party page-composition software — Mail Manager 2010 can produce a presorted output file in
virtually any common format, or populate fields in the original file with relevant presort information:
Sequence Number, Optional Endorsement Line, Container Numbers, and more.
Labels and Form Letters
The heart of any mailing software is its ability to generate labels or form letters. The ease with which these
pieces can be designed is a true test of the software’s utility. Label design capabilities should go well
beyond name/address/postal-data requirements: a truly flexible software solution will be able to customize your
job with user-specified criteria — different layouts and marketing messages, to name only two.
Most software packages force you to separate mailings for each variation, sacrificing significant postage-density
discounts in the process. But 2010's label/letter designer offers an unrivaled combination of flexibility and
ease of use: you can create a complete address label with a single mouse click, and incorporate complex designs
(with logos, pictures and text boxes) with simple drag-and-drop techniques. Or generate different labels with
customized messages — even totally different letters — all in the same run, based on criteria you
specify, or with random sampling techniques.
Need more examples? How about the ability to create distinct letters for men and women, and let Mail Manager
2010’s gender assignment feature sort them for you? You can even print different return addresses and
signatures — plus photos of the sales agent closest to the addressee — using built-in Geocoding
and User-Defined Function capabilities. These advanced features can provide a fast return on your investment,
and set you apart from your competitors.
2010's Label Designer gives you greater control over your message.
