ABSTRACT:
A matching system for use with an inserting device adapted to insert into an envelope, which may be personalized for a particular recipient, one or more personalized inserts. The matching system ensures the proper assembly of mass mail items which include personalized components, each having an alpha-numeric sequence indicator printed thereon which corresponds to a given recipient. The matching system includes a number of video cameras, each positioned to sense an alpha-numeric sequence indicator on a different component of a mail item being assembled. The video camera create electrical signals in accordance with the sensed indicators which are processed by circuitry to develop and store digital representations of the sensed indicators. A controller, consisting of a master processing unit and a number of slave processing units, receives the stored digital representations and determines from them whether the sequence indicators on the personalized components to be assembled into a mass mail item match.
