Address carrier
The address carrier is the document that carries the address of the
person for who the mail set is meant. The address carrier can consist
of one or more sheets, from which at least the first sheet must contain
the address. The address must remain visible while enclosures are
added and the document set is folded. The fold type and selected
envelope must ensure that the address is visible behind the window in
the envelope. For personalized mailings there is always an address
carrier present as long as envelope printing is not supported. Normally
there is one address carrier.
Address position
Position of the address on the address carrier,
measured from the upper left corner. The address
position consists of a horizontal x coordinate, a
vertical y coordinate, a horizontal width w and a
vertical height h.
Automatic
The feature of an inserting system to automatically determine its job
settings by measuring the sizes of documents and envelope. From all
feeders that are loaded one sheet will be taken. Based on the
maximum document length (which is also the length of the document
set) and the length of the envelope the fold type is determined.
Automatic job
A job that is created with the Automatic job functionality.
Barcode Reading

Barcode Reading is intended for reading and interpreting printed
barcodes. The codes give information to the inserting system about
how to build-up and handle a set.

Daily Mail
Capability of an inserting system to manually insert mail sets one by
one into the system, which are then inserted into an envelope.
Optionally, depending on settings, additional enclosures can be added
and the mail set can be folded. This function is intended for small
amounts of mail that each can have a different build-up.
Document
A document is one of the components of a mail set. A document can
consist of one or more sheets. Documents can be divided into address
carriers and enclosures. For personalized mailings there is always one
address carrier and an optional number of enclosures.
Document set
The document set is the physical collection of address carrier and
enclosure(s) that is under production in the inserting system. The
document set is completed during production and is to be inserted into
the envelope. The number of enclosures can range from 0 to the limit
opposed by the number of available feeders. Once the document set
has been inserted into an envelope it is called mail set.
