How to get Saturation or High Density rates in AccuZIP6

Your database has to be in walk sequence order prior to opening it in AccuZIP6. If your list is in walk sequence order and you have a sequence number field in the database where the sequence numbers are in walk sequence order, then you can get the walk sequence saturation or high density rates in AccuZIP6.

When you open the list in AccuZIP6, make sure you assign the field named walkseq_ to the sequence number field in your list. If you don't have a walk sequence number field, you can add this sequential number field with AccuZIP6 Data Enhancement Services.

Assign your other fields as usual. If you’re presorting letters, then validate the list. If this is a simplified address mailing or if you’re presorting flats, don’t validate.

After validation, pull down the sort menu to Presort Mail.

In the Presort Setup widow, make sure you check the Include Carrier Route box. If you’re presorting Letters, make sure Machinable and Print Barcode are also checked. If you’re presorting flats, you won’t need to check the Print barcode box.

Enter your 5 digit ZIP Code, and if you plan on dropping mail at your SCF facility, check the SCF box.

Presort your list, and you should get saturation or high density rates.

I Just wanted to let you know we are in the Postal Fort Worth Texas Division and I received a call from someone in their office today wanting to ask me some questions. He asked if I understood about the changes with the move update starting for this month, then he asked me what software we were using. I explained to him that we have been using AccuZIP Software for the last 20 years and I thought you were the #1 in the United States. I told him that you were the only software displayed in the Postal Section of the Smithsonian Institute. He asked me if I had to manually change the updated addresses and I told him no that the Software did it for us and I could print a report showing the old address and the new address. He told me out of 32,000 names that were updated only 3 were wrong and he just wanted to call me to see what Software we were using. Thanks for such good software and support from your company over the past 20 years.
