<p>A method for automatic sorting includes receiving an item (22) in a sequence of items to be sorted, each such item marked with a respective machine-readable identifying code (42, 52, 54) and with respective characters (44, 56) in a location relative to the code that varies from one item to another in the sequence. A position of the code on the item is determined and, responsive to the position of the code, the location of the characters on the item is found. The characters are processed to determine a destination of the item.</p> |
