Per-piece variable-data verification during addressing. Each mailpiece is photographed by a Cognex camera as it runs through the addressing machine; the decoded address, IMb, and other variable data are compared against the final addressing/BCC reference file. Failed reads are auto-diverted from the live mail stream for reprint or recovery, and a per-job verification report (read rate, verified rate, bad-read images) is produced for the customer.
