Description
Address carrier The address carrier is the document that carries the address of
the person for who the mail set is meant. The address carrier
can consist of one or more sheets, from which at least the first
sheet must contain the address. The address must remain visible
while enclosures are added and the document set is folded. The
fold type and selected envelope must ensure that the address
is visible behind the window in the envelope. For personalized
mailings there is always an address carrier present as long as
envelope printing is not supported. Normally there is one address
carrier.

measured from the upper left corner. The address
position consists of a horizontal x coordinate, a
vertical y coordinate, a horizontal width w and a
vertical height h.
Automatic
The feature of an inserting system to automatically determine its
job settings by measuring the sizes of documents and envelope.
From all feeders that are loaded one sheet will be taken. Based
on the maximum document length (which is also the length of
the document set) and the length of the envelope the fold type is
determined.

Daily Post
Capability of an inserting system to manually insert mail sets one
by one into the system, which are then inserted into an envelope.
Optionally, depending on settings, additional enclosures can be
added and the mail set can be folded. This function is intended
for small amounts of mail that each can have a different build-up.
Deskew
A system of straightening a skewed document or enclosure
by driving it into a set of drive rollers that have been briefly
stopped. This removes the skew, and after a set period of time,
the rollers restart. Deskew slows the machine down and can be
disabled or adjusted for amount of deskew for forms that are not
prone to skewing.
Document
A document is one of the components of a mail set. A document
can consist of one or more sheets. Documents can be divided
into address carriers and enclosures. For personalized mailings
there is always one address carrier and an optional number of
enclosures.
