How Mail Matrix Works
The Mail Matrix system uses three software applications to control and run the
system: the Host software, the OPEX Directory Retrieval System (DRS), and
the Keying Station application. The Host software and DRS are always on the
Host PC; the Keying Station software is found on the Host PC and on any
installed KFI modules.
Mail is entered into the system by either the operator or an installed
auto-feeder, which can automatically place mail onto the conveyor. The
operator can either look at each piece and use a Keying Station DRS to identify
the intended recipient, or an installed camera can take an image of each piece
and the Mail Matrix can use software to sort it.
Host software
The Mail Matrix Host software provides the operator's main interface with the
system's controls. Use the Host software to select and run jobs, remove/insert
iBots, and view statistical reports on the machine.
