ABSTRACT:
The method of handling mail items (1) in a mail handling machine (2) comprises steps consisting in delaying printing of an identity code (19) on a mail item until address information is determined by deriving a digital imprint (9, 13) characterizing the mail item from the image (4) of the mail item, thereby making it possible to avoid printing an identity code on mail items that have foreign destinations. An extended identity code is printed on all of the mail items that do not have foreign destinations.
