Abstract
A method and system for preparing mailpieces. A inserter system for assembling mailpieces in a mailing job is controlled in accordance with a measure of the fraction of chassis cycles which are empty. The chassis speed is continually adjusted during run-time for a mailing job to minimize the number of "dry holes", i.e. the fraction of chassis cycles which do not contain a mailpiece.
