You should contact the “Address Change Service or OneCode ACS Department” at 877-640-0724 Option 1.

When going to the customer gateway why can’t he see his Mailer ID After you log into the Gateway, click “Mailer ID” and the list will appear under “Mailer ID Summary”.

Is there a benefit to your mail pieces to have the barcode above or below the address There is no benefit to your mail pieces to have the barcode above or below the address. It is all about your customers' preferences.
If you are following the rules for “Barcode Placement”, and using our product with a correct Mailer ID, you will be good to go. There is no need to send mail-pieces to your post office for approval. Our support team can assist you if you have questions after you print the IMb. We can evaluate the IMb for accuracy as well.

The structure of the barcodes is the same. The difference comes down to the customers’ choice. The basic IMb allows you to qualify for automation discounts and is easy to implement. The Full-Service IMb is more rigorous and complicated to implement and requires additional steps in the mailing process. Full-Service provides larger discounts and free address quality updates.
Mid January 2013. We will have the Webinar before the new rates are implemented and after we are certified for eDoc. This way we can show everyone how the entire Full Service IMb process can be handled directly from AccuZIP6 5.0 free of charge!
AccuZIP6 5.0 provides a list of all Service Types and the short description. Select the Additions Menu and choose AccuTrace | Intelligent Mail Setup… When the Intelligent Mail Information Setup window appears, click on the class of mail you want to see the Service Types for, then double-click on the icon below the Service Type node to see a complete list for that class of mail. The official “A Guide to Intelligent Mail for Letters and Flats”, starting at Page 19, gives you information about these service types. Yes. The Rena DA 608, along with nearly all Rena printers, supports the TrueType® font. You can print the IMb and IMpb with your Rena DA 608, the same what you would to any Inkjet or Laser printer. All you need to do is enter your Mailer ID or download our latest update on Monday and check the “Intelligent Mail” box to print using the same Label template you use now to print the POSTNET® barcode.
First-Class Package Services, Parcel Select, Parcel Select Light Weight, Bound Printed Matter, Media Mail, Library Mail parcels and Standard Mail Parcels. Currently, we are certifying under eDoc and Full Service using the MAIL.DAT files produced with AccuZIP6. We anticipate completing this process before the end of December, 2012. AccuZIP6 5.0 will then be able to control the communication with PostalOne! We are also looking at the opportunity to develop our interface in January-February 2013 to the Electronic Verification System (e-VS), to allow high-volume package mailers to document and pay postage using electronic manifest files.
We have a special running from now to December 31, 2013
One of the main reason is that you can project the “in-home” date of the mail-pieces. You can instantly measure response—by state, by city, even to specific addresses in a batch report or graphs. Tracking 100% of your trackable mail gives you a significant advantage over not tracking because tracking can trigger follow-up efforts precisely when they’re most effective. By tracking when the mail-pieces are out for delivery, you can determine if you or your customers are getting a better response if the mail is delivered during the week or on the weekend. A major benefit to tracking mail now is that your competitors are probably not tracking their mail, so you have a competitive advantage by starting now. Now you have full insight on where the mail is in the mail-stream and when it will be delivered so you and your customers can make better decisions. You also know when the post office isn’t working your mail and can contact them to ask questions. Are you going to have another webinar explaining what to do with the mail.dat file that is created for us? Mid January 2013. We will have the Webinar before the new rates are implemented and after we are certified for eDoc. This way we can show everyone how the entire Full Service IMb process can be handled directly from AccuZIP6 5.0 free of charge! |
