Abstract
A system and method for high-speed processing of mail pieces is disclosed. The high-speed system includes a conveyor system for transferring mail pieces among two or more mail processing components and a controller for directing the operations of the components. A postage computing device calculates the postage value due for each mail piece. A postage application printer prints postage information, such as Information-Based Indicia (IBI), on the mail pieces that are being moved by the conveyor system. A computer processing system stores information related to the processing of each mail piece and provides the controller with the processing information.
