ABSTRACT:
A method of processing a mail run on a plurality of inserter systems, including first and second inserter systems, comprising the following steps. A mail run data file (MRDF) is downloaded to a file server. Documents comprising mailpieces of the mail run are scanned at each of the plurality of inserter systems. Each of the documents are scanned for an MRDF ID and a mailpiece ID. A MRDF data block is requested from the file server by each of the inserter systems based on the MRDF ID and mailpiece ID scanned at each of the plurality of inserter systems. The file server verifies that the respective request from each of the inserter systems has data available for the requested mailpiece ID and that the requested mailpiece ID has not been processed by any of the plurality of inserter systems. The file server allocates the requested MRDF data block respectively to each of the inserter systems when the data is available and the requested mailpiece has not been processed. Each inserter system uses mailpiece data from the respective MRDF data block to create a mailpiece at each of the plurality of inserter systems. The file server denies allocation of the MRDF data block requested by a first inserter system when the data is not available or when the requested MRDF data block has already been processed by a second inserter system.
