ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for processing mail pieces by a mailer for mailing by a postal facility utilizes a manifesting system to evidence payment by the mailer to the postal facility for the cost of the mailing. A discrete batch of mail is identified, and each piece in the batch is weighed in succession by a scale which includes a first data processing means and a first data base, and the weight is entered in the first data base, optionally together with other information that is pertinent to the cost of mailing. A first printer collocated with the scale prints a unique number for each mail piece. A second data processing means having a second data base receives the information from the first data base and generates a compilation of the unique numbers, the weight, other optional pertinent information, if any, and the compilation is converted into a user functional form which can be delivered to a postal facility as evidence of payment by the mailer for the cost of mailing the mail pieces in the batch by the postal facility.
