USPS Pushes Flats

Rapp reveals that the USPS expects to have DPP machine simulation available for evaluation as early as fiscal year 2005.

If the DPP option is not feasible, the postal service will pursue its second option—the Flats Sequencing System (FSS), which will be designed to sequence flat mail using two passes. "DPP can't be done overnight. The concept needs to be evaluated to determine feasibility, equipment costs and space requirements," he reveals.
