Abstract
For the preparation of items to be mailed, a number of main documents are fed. Printing instructions for the printing of a number of enclosure documents are stored in a memory, each in association with a corresponding enclosure code. In at least some of the processing instructions, at least an enclosure code is included. In reaction to an enclosure code forming part of processing instructions associated with a supplied main document, printing instructions stored in the memory in association with a corresponding enclosure code are selected and fed to a printer. An enclosure document is printed by the printer in accordance with the selected printing instructions and added to the main document. By printing the enclosures in reaction to enclosure codes associated with the main documents, a wide variety of enclosures can be incorporated into items to be mailed without logistic problems.
