Walk sequence cards are generally given to the Post Office, which puts them in walk sequence order and returns them to the newspaper. Each card shows an address and identifying post office information (PO route number, route type, walk sequence), if this information has been entered.
Note: Business Rules determine the length of the postal walk sequence card, as well as the first print position and line on the card. Also, once the cards are returned from the post office, walk sequence order can be entered in Utilities | Setup | Postal Walk Sequence.
Select Walk Sequence Cards from the Postal menu to display the Postal Walk Sequence window.
Click Add and enter the Zip code or Zip code prefix that defines the area for which to print cards. For example, enter “55” to print cards for all Zip codes that begin with 55.
Click OK and then Continue to produce the report.
The 3541 is a report usually required by the USPS when submitting periodical mail. The report lists weights, zones, postage rates, and other information for your mailing. Most post offices allow the Financial PO report to be used in lieu of a 3541. If your business is located in Canada, a Canadian PO report prints instead of a US PO report.
If you are using PostWare to sort 2nd and 3rd class mail (recommended), you would run both this report and the Daily PO Report on each mail publishing day. The Daily PO Report would be run initially so that PostWare can assess how many sacks, trays, etc. will be needed. After the publishing run is finished (and press room information entered), the Financial PO report can be created. This report will reflect the actual mailing figures and can be submitted to the post office.
Note: The Daily PO Report and Press Room History must be completed for each publishing day to be included in the Financial PO Report.
Select Financial PO Report from the Postal menu to display the Financial Post Office Report window.
