Abstract
System and method are provided for generating a Postnet bar code with a closed system metering device. Before an indicium is printed on a mailpiece, a scanner is used to scan recipient address information printed on a mailpiece. Using the scanned information, the metering device determines the Postnet bar code corresponding to the scanned information. A check is then made to determine if the recipient address information has changed from the scanned information. If it has not changed, the metering device prints the postal code on the mailpiece. When the recipient address information has changed, the metering device generates a corrected postal code and prints the corrected postal code and the corrected address on the mailpiece.
