Emtex Auto-Reprint Capabilities
Emtex VIP is used by many print bureaux to import documents into their standard operating environment (SOE). This may be as a precursor to additional processing performed by the bureaux themselves, or merely to transform print jobs to suit the output devices in use.
VIP has enabled many bureaux to bid for work not normally handled by their output devices, widening the spread of potential customers and market share.
Emtex VDE provides the ability to manipulate the document content, to further enhance functionality and cost-savings. DPID addition is one such enhancement; address cleansing, sorting and repositioning is also possible; barcoding for mail insertion equipment integrity is another.
Barcoding a document provides a method of proving that all pages of a mailpiece were inserted into an envelope. A normal print file is enhanced by Emtex VDE by the addition of barcodes on every page. Barcodes can signify the JOB, MAILPIECE, DOCUMENT PAGE, JOB PAGE and can also contain insertion commands to add specific (glossy) inserts during the mailing process. A separate reconciliation file is provided as an output from the VDE process. This reconciliation (MRDF) file is used by the mailing equipment to ensure it receives and prints all pages of all documents.
If a page is missing or destroyed during processing, the mailing equipment creates a list of missing documents using the barcode and MRDF info. This list of missing documents can be fed back into Emtex to AUTOMATICALLY generate the spoils required to complete the run. Emtex can be set up to watch a specific folder for reprint files and process them against the original jobs, preparing a run of spoils for reprinting. This process may iterate if required, and completely eliminates any manual spoils processing, a timely and costly process.
EDS NZ has the above functionality in place and now enjoys full integrity for all jobs run through Emtex, with the Auto-Reprint generation saving on turnaround time and manual labour-intensive spoils generation processes. As a (welcome) side effect of Emtex implementation, the number of outsorts has been reduced by nearly 50%.
