摘要： A method for processing a document, including performing one or more processing steps with the document, such as printing, franking, assembling to mail pieces, or opening received mail pieces. The method further includes defining a first possible location of a marking on a document; and searching a first part of a document for the marking, the first part corresponding to the first possible location. When the marking is not found in the first part a second possible location of a marking on a document is defined and a second part of the document for the marking is searched. The second part corresponds to the second possible location. The location of the marking with respect to the document is stored in the memory in case the marking is found in the first part or the second part. Information about the document is derived from the found marking. The derived information is presented at an output, for further processing of the information.

摘要： A passive RFID tag (22) is provided in a product (21), and then the product is packaged. Rather than printing a high-quality label that must be optically scanned, and applying the label on the package, shipping and tracking data are encoded in the RFID tag. Then the only thing that needs to be applied to the package is human readable address information (27), which may be imaged directly on the package, such as by an ink jet printer. The final package need have no label at all, let alone one with shipping and tracking information.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for processing postal items, whereby a physical value is measured for detecting (2) if the outer surface of a postal item is made of plastic and the digital image of the outer surface thereof is processed for detecting (3) if said surface has a noisy background. From the result of both detection processes, the outer surface of said postal item is determined (4) to be printable or not.

摘要： The invention relates to a method of tracking shipments, such as letters and parcels, sent by at least one user to the address of at least one recipient. The inventive method comprises a step whereby a barcode (10) is printed on each of the shipments to be tracked. The method is characterised in that the barcode (10) comprises at least one shipment user (1) identification part, which remains the same for each user, and one part that is used to identify the shipping rank or number (3) of the shipment, said part varying for each shipment. The invention also relates to a device for using said method and to a manual apparatus for printing the barcodes (10) on the shipments.

摘要： An item handling system, comprising: at least one item preparation station for printing machine-readable symbols on items; and at least one item handling station for receiving items from the at least one item preparation station and being operable to machine read and process information contained in the symbols printed on the items; wherein: the at least one item handling station includes a messaging unit for generating messages representative of the readability of symbols read thereby and transmitting the messages to the at least one item preparation station; and the at least one item preparation station includes an indicator for providing an indication of a readability of symbols printed thereby in response to messages received from the at least one item handling station.

摘要： The method of distribution of correspondence and relative things by using Post Numbers (P.N.) facilitates the Post-Services to proceed to their delivery to the final receivers, by filling in themselves the address of the receiver-subscriber. The P.N. is a number that corresponds to a page of a file of an electronic data-base that contains the full name or trade name as well as the address of the receiver-subscriber. The sender, completes on the letter and the relative things, the full name or the trade name of the final receiver as well as the P.N. of the receiver-subscriber. The Postal-employee computerizes in a terminal PC the P.N. of the receiver-subscriber. This terminal PC is connected with the data-base, where the file with the P.N. of all the subscribers is found. In the end, the address of the receiver-subscriber is printed on a label which is placed on the letter. When the receiver-subscriber changes his place of residence or employment, he notifies the Post-Service of this change, so as to record by the method of the P.N. his new address on the letters sent to him.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for coding mailing items by means of applied readable code signs. In order to enable also umambiguous identification of short mailing items while maintaining code sign quantity and distances, the surface available for code application, especially the length of the incoming mailing item, is measured and an unambiguous code with a number of signs adapted accordingly to the surface available is subsequently applied. In order to check that an identification code (ID code) is umambiguous a statistic is provided with regard to the frequency of various lengths of previously processed mailing item available for the ID code affecting the number of signs in the ID code. ID codes with a reduced number of signs, each of which have been determined and adapted to the lengths available for the ID code are applied when, over a fixed period of time, the number of statistically determined mailing items of the selected length range is smaller or equal to the number of mailing items which can be distinguished by the shortened ID-code.
