Abstract (en)

[origin: ES2001970A6] A system for coding flat objects, in particular letters, comprises a manual coding station to enable a human operator to print coded indications on flat objects that a conveyor moves before him, using a printer. An optical addressing information reader on the upstream side of the manual coding station is adapted to control the printing of coded indications appropriate to information previously marked on the objects that it is able to recognize. A switching device on the path of the conveyor on the downstream side of the optical reader is used to route the objects to the printer from the optical reader either directly or via the manual coding station, where the operator controls the printing of coded indications appropriate to information previously marked on the objects marked on the objects that he is able to recognize.
