There is a small series of reports that are necessary with manifest mailings; whether approved for a pre-printed indicia (fully automated) or even if metering at lowest rate, or correct rate, etc. (still utilizing meter machine). Some reports are mandated to accompany the mailing to your local post office. Others are for internal use or retention. Each AutoMail®-generated report is outlined below.

 

See Print Reports section for explanation of the interface from which reports are generated.
