Abstract (en)
A system, method and apparatus for preparing mailpieces. A inserter system (10) for assembling mailpieces (46) is controlled in accordance with mailpiece records (84) in a mailing control file (80). The inserter system scans control documents (CD) included in the mailpieces to identify corresponding mailpiece records. At least some of the mailpieces share common component data, such as bitmaps for logos to be printed on the mailpieces. Initially the inserter system accesses the mailing control file to identify current component data and updates component data to be used for a mailing as necessary. <IMAGE>
