UNIQUE MAILCHECK SYSTEM 
Datagraphic
has recently installed new equipment capable of reading and recording
personalised security documents before mailing. The “MailCare”
system was custom built to Datagraphic’ specifications. High-speed
cameras and software utilise the latest “2-D” Barcode technology
and OCR. The equipment is capable of reading A4 documents at up to 20,000
per hour.

“Mail-Check” is used by Datagraphic to check all secure
documents before mailing. The system creates audit files of security
documents, in particular cheques. A small “2-D” (two dimensional)
barcode is printed in the address area of the document during laser
personalisation. The unique barcode is read into the system through
the window of the sealed document. A text file is automatically created
and compared to the original file supplied by the customer. Any discrepancies
or missing documents are established and corrected before mailing.

The alpha-numeric 2-D barcode can contain up to 64 characters and is
designed to include the cheque number, account number, mailsort code,
job number and even the cheque value printed if required. The system
is also used to check and sort documents in mailsort order.
”Our cheque laser personalisation, fulfilment and mailing service
has really taken off in the last 12 months. We can no longer rely on
manual checking to ensure that what we mail is the same as the data
received. Customers and banks want to feel confident that no cheque
is missing, duplicated or posted to the wrong person,” says Datagraphic’s
MD Scotch Kirkpatrick.

Datagraphic offer a unique security print service from “data to
post” that includes the traditional litho production of cheques
and other security documents as well as laser infilling, finishing,
fulfilment and mailing.
