ABSTRACT:
A method for sorting items provided with address information includes passing the items successively through a scanning device for generating a video image of each item, a mechanical storage track and a printing station. The video images are supplied to a device for automatically reading the address information and assigning a corresponding code. The printing station prints the corresponding code on the items for which the address information can be read within a predetermined time. The video images of the items for which the address information cannot be automatically read within the predetermined time is stored in a buffer. The respectively most recent video image stored in the buffer is supplied to a video coding station for either reading the address information and assigning a corresponding code before the item reaches the printing station at which the code is printed on the item, or if the code is not assigned before the item reaches the printing station, providing the item with an ID tag and printing the ID tag on the item at the printing station. The ID tag is stored in order to provide the item having the ID tag with a corresponding code at a later point in time.
