Glossary
boundary
The physical separation between mail pieces.
When a boundary is found, it means the end
of one mail piece and the beginning of a new
one.
configuration file
A file of the HCF format describing, in tech-
nical language, the features and functions
that your post-processing hardware supports.
One configuration file contains not only the
features available on your hardware, but the
default values defined for a specific job type.
Only one configuration file can be assigned to
a Project File.
document
A collection of one more sheets printed
together and intended for a single recipient. A
promotional letter being sent to John Doe
qualifies as a single document.
folder inserter
Post-Processing Finishing Hardware used to
fold mail pieces and insert them into individ-
ual envelopes. This is the intended recipient
of any output generated by PlanetPress Envel-
opeNOW. Note that PlanetPress Envel-
opeNOW is targetted towards smaller desktop
Folder Inserters.
job
A collection of one or more mail pieces to be
processed in a single pass. Mail pieces within
the same job are not required to have the
same number of documents or sheets.
job file
A multi-page document used as an input for a
job, or as a sample to create a new project
file. A job file is captured from a printer
queue or opened from a local folder as a PDF
or PostScript file.
mail piece
A collection of one or more documents
intended for a single recipient; in other
words, the contents of a single envelope. A
promotional letter and an invoice both being
sent to John Doe constitute a mail piece. It is
assumed that each document within a mail
piece always starts on the front page of a
sheet, whether these specific documents are
duplexed or not
page
One side of a sheet of paper. A duplex (2-
sided) sheet is two pages.
project file
A PlanetPress EnvelopeNOW Project File con-
taining a series of settings designed to
produce a specific type of results when proc-
essing an incoming job. Each project files is
linked to a specific configuration file and to
user-defined parameters. Project Files are re-
useable, but only for identical types of jobs
that require the same scan marks and use the
same conditions on the page.
scan mark
A series of markings containing information
that can be automatically read and interpreted
by folder inserters. Scan marks are usually
found on the edge of some or all pages, and
may come in several shapes, depending on
the hardware. PlanetPress EnvelopeNow cur-
rently supports OMR and Code39 barcodes.
The configuration file defines what scan
marks are supported by the folder inserter.
