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 technical
language, the features and functions that your
post-processing hardware supports. One con-
figuration file contains not only the features avail-
able on your hardware, but the default values
defined for a specific job type. Only one con-
figuration 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 individual envel-
opes. This is the intended recipient of any output
generated by PlanetPress EnvelopeNOW. Note
that PlanetPress EnvelopeNOW is targetted
towards smaller desktop Folder Inserters.
job
A collection of one or more mail pieces to be proc-
essed 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 processing an incom-
ing 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. Plan-
etPress EnvelopeNow currently supports OMR
and Code39 barcodes. The configuration file
defines what scan marks are supported by the
folder inserter.
