摘要:
The invention relates to a method for printing mail (10). The mail (10) is fed to a printing device (60) by means of conveyance and is printed in said printing device (60). The invention is characterized in that the mail (10) is fed by a first means of conveyance (20) associated with a rotating device (40) used to rotate and/or turn the mail (10); graphic characteristics of at least the surface of the mail (10) are detected during conveyance of the mail (10) on the first means of conveyance; the graphic characteristics thus detected are evaluated, information being obtained from the result of the evaluation of the graphic characteristics determining which surface of the mail (10) is to be printed; the rotating device (40) rotates and/or turns the mail (10) in such a way that the surface of the mail (10) to be printed is oriented in a desired manner and fed to a printing means disposed in the printing device.
摘要:
A series of documents (100) to be processed are optically inspected, and compared with a reference (h) standard to identify the relative orientation of each document. To this end, an image acquired from the document (preferably from each side of the document) is focused on an array (14) of picture elements (pixels) for electronically converting the acquired image to digital form. This produces a digitally encoded image, which can be enhanced if desired, defined by an array of pixels corresponding to the acquired image. For each acquired image, two reference areas, which are preferably symmetrically located on the document, are inspected for the presence of a pre-selected reference mark. Location of the reference mark in one of the two reference areas operates to determine the orientation of the document. Upon locating the reference mark on the document, identifying the orientation of the document relative to the apparatus, the document may then be mechanically re-oriented so that the documents are placed in a uniform orientation for further processing, if desired.

摘要:
A machine for processing mail to separate the items whose destination address is typed or printed from those which are in manuscript. The machine reads the information on the items and distinguishes the destination address from a sender's address. The destination address is then examined to recognise typed or manuscript forms according to the dispersion of the height of letters, the spacing between letters or lines, etc. The machine calculates the dispersion of only the bottom or one or two lines of the address because this is where the most useful information is present.
