ABSTRACT:
A method for automarking presorted postal mail includes scanning a mail piece in a first sorting pass at a presort facility and then printing an automark code on the mail piece indicating the type of postage applied. The automark code includes a horizontal line of seven consecutive characters improved in that one character, for example the fifth character, is a redundant code for one or more other characters representing postage type paid for the mail piece. To improve machine readability of the code, the line of characters may be printed with increased spacing between the fifth and sixth and/or between the sixth and seventh characters.
