ABSTRACT:
A multiple-pass sorting system for sorting mail pieces in a sequence corresponding to a mail carrier's route includes storage media for storing a database containing a delivery sequence for each address on the carrier's route. As mail pieces to be delivered by the carrier are fed into the system, each of the mail pieces are transported to an multiline optical character reader (MLOCR) which reads the address printed on the mail piece. A processor operatively connected to the MLOCR and the storage media determines the sorting sequence representative of the delivery order sequence for each of the mail pieces. The mail pieces are sorted into sorting bins based on a first pass sorting scheme. Subsequent sort passes are required until the mail pieces are in delivery order sequence.
