Systems, methods, and an article of manufacture for printing a new postal authority code on a mail piece prepared by and received from an inserter or wrapper. A barcode post-processing system receives a mail piece from an inserter and communicates with the image capture equipment. The barcode post-processing system during performs various functions. The functions can include receiving legacy address block information from the mail piece from the image capture equipment, processing the captured legacy address block information to determine one or more missing parameters of the new postal authority code to create processed data, and supplementing the captured legacy address block information data with the one or more missing parameters of the new postal authority code received from one or more data source.

Method and system for applying a postal authority barcode on a document processing system

The progressive tracking of items in relation to other items as they are processed and transformed through a sequence of processes executed in a workflow procedure intended to produce a finished hard copy document product for transport to a destination location, as a result of a production run, enables permission based control of one or more processing steps during the production run and/or effective scheduling of any re-do operations that may be desired upon detection of any discrepancies in the item processing operations.

Item workflow tracking in an automated production environment

A repositionable latch blocking apparatus for use with a latchable mechanism, the latchable mechanism having an operating device to operate the latchable mechanism between locked and unlocked positions, the latch blocking apparatus comprising at least a first surface, the latch blocking apparatus having a fastening device disposed thereupon to fasten the latch blocking apparatus proximate the operating device of the latchable mechanism, so as to position the at least first surface to block the operation of the operating device and thereby prevent the operation of the latchable mechanism between locked and unlocked positions, whereby when the latch blocking apparatus is repositioned, so as to position the at least first surface remote the operating device said repositioning allowing the operation of the latchable mechanism.

Blocking device for latch mechanism

A repositionable latch blocking apparatus for use with a latchable mechanism, the latchable mechanism having an operating device to operate the latchable mechanism between locked and unlocked positions, the latch blocking apparatus including a unitary configuration having at least a first surface, the unitary configuration having a fastening device disposed thereupon adjacent the operating device in use, to fasten the latch blocking apparatus proximate the operating device of the latchable mechanism, so as to position the at least first surface to block the operation of the operating device and thereby prevent the operation of the latchable mechanism between locked and unlocked positions, whereby when the latch blocking apparatus is repositioned, so as to position the at least first surface remote the operating device said repositioning allows operation of the latching mechanism.
