A method for verifying uniquely identifiable postal indicia in a closed loop system is provided. An embodiment of the method may include scanning a mail piece for 5 human-readable and machine-readable images in a single image, including a postal indicium representing postage-related information associated with the mail piece, the postal indicium being uniquely identifiable and having human-readable and machine readable portions. The method may further include sending information on the postal indicium to a point of automation for comparison against stored data on the postal 10 indicium to determine whether the postal indicium is valid; receiving an instruction on how to handle the mail piece at the mail facility; and processing the mail piece in accordance with the received instructions. 2850571_1 (GHMa.rs) P72122AU I 120 130 140 160 102 102 4 Po tage P id Lw4 N 11/4/02 $0.37 1577682 9827860 104 IEEEw I 160 1 0 170 EO£.28 |
