Abstract

See full text

A system for printing markings along the top and bottom of mailpieces, using a print head in a fixed position. The print head receives print instructions either from a print module or an inverted print module and prints one or more first markings onto the mailpiece, the mailpiece being in a first orientation. The mailpiece is rotated so that it is in a second orientation, which is approximately 180 degrees from the first orientation. The print head prints on the mailpiece one or more second markings that are oriented 180 degrees with respect to the orientation of the one or more first markings printed onto the mailpiece. The one or more second markings shares the same upright orientation as the one or more first markings when printed onto the mailpiece and when subsequently read.
