ABSTRACT:
A mail or letter preparing system prepares both "self mailers" and envelope letters for mailing. The system includes apparatus for cutting individual-page letter sheets or leaving letter sheets as united pages. The united page sheets are folded by a first folder to be the same size as individual-page sheets. A second folder then folds both the individual sheets and the united-page sheets to letters of a predetermined envelope size. Also under the control of a central computer, a sealer seals some of these folded letters for mailing as they are and transports the others "as self-mailers" to inserter apparatus. Likewise, the inserter apparatus after adding any additional inserts which are to accompany enveloped letters, stuffs the unsealed letters into respective envelopes, but merely transports the sealed self mailers there-through without stuffing them into envelopes. Both stuffed envelopes and self mailers are expelled from the inserter from the same exit and transported by the same conveyor to a sorter. The sorter sorts these items to be mailed in accordance with instructions from the central computer.
