摘要： A method and system for mail run balancing of critical documents on a sorter machine that comingles both critical and non-critical documents. A plan identifying a set of critical documents to be processed as part of a mail run is received at the sorter. The plan includes an individual identifier code for each critical document. Sets of critical and non-critical documents are sorted as part of the comingled mail run. A camera scans the documents for the individual identifier codes on the critical documents during sorting. The camera captures an image of the scanned critical documents. A list of scanned individual identifier codes of sorted critical documents is stored for later use, along with the captured images of the documents. The list of scanned individual identifier codes is compared to the identifier codes of the critical documents in the plan. Based on the comparison, a first comparison list of scanned identifiers that do not match any identifiers in the plan and a second comparison list of identifiers in the plan that are not matched to pieces scanned are generated. The first comparison list is reconciled with the second comparison list by, at least in part, displaying the captured images to assist in matching corresponding documents from the lists.

摘要翻译： 一种方法和系统，用于邮件运行平衡关键文件在分拣机上，同时包含关键文档和非关键文档。 在分拣机处收到一个计划，用于确定要作为邮件运行一部分处理的一组关键文件。 该计划包括每个关键文件的个人标识符代码。 关键和非关键文档的集合被排序为流行的邮件运行的一部分。 相机在排序期间扫描文档中关键文档上的各个标识符代码。 相机拍摄扫描的关键文档的图像。 排序的关键文件的扫描的个人标识符代码的列表将被存储供以后使用，以及文档的捕获图像。 将扫描的单独标识符代码的列表与计划中的关键文档的标识符代码进行比较。 基于比较，生成与计划中的任何标识符不匹配的扫描标识符的第一比较列表和计划中与扫描的片段不匹配的标识符的第二比较列表。 第一比较列表通过至少部分地显示所捕获的图像来帮助匹配来自列表的相应文档来与第二比较列表协调。
