Processing time may be slower. More containers are formed. Controlling sortation levels within schemes The Sort Through option allows you to stop processing at a specific sortation level within a given presort scheme. Typically, you'll want to process all sortation levels in a scheme. But in rare circumstances, you may want to process certain levels in one scheme and let the rest of the pieces drop to another scheme. Chapter 10: Presort 149 To use this option, you choose the last level to process in the scheme, or choose Every to process all levels. Pieces that drop out of the selected level drop to the next scheme, if any, and then to the qualified nonpresort group. Example You're preparing automated First-Class Mail with 1, 500 pieces. After presorting, the Job Summary shows that 450 pieces didn't qualify for the automated mailing. You need at least 500 pieces to qualify for another mailing; so these 450 pieces drop to the qualified non-presort group, which mails at the single-piece rate. The Mail Sort Listing shows that there are 50 pieces at the ADC level. You could add those 50 pieces to the other 450 pieces to create another mailing. To do this, you would choose the First Class automated letter for scheme 1 and the First Class regular letter for scheme 2. In scheme 1, set the Sort Through option to 3-digit to process only those pieces that qualify for the 3-digit level and above. Using this option this way may save you some postage. However, you should try processing the presort both ways first and then check the postage (in the Job Summary or Postage Statement) to determine which method grants the better postage rates. Affected schemes All schemes except the exclusively carrier-route schemes include the Sort Through option. Because carrier-route schemes process only carrier-route mail, you can choose to include or exclude this sort level simply by either including the scheme in the job or excluding the scheme from the job. . Automated 500 pieces 500 pieces 50 pieces Non-automated 450 pieces Without the Sort_Through Level option, 450 pieces mail at the basic (33 cent) rate. 5-digit sort 3-digit sort ADC sort Qualified nonpresort Automated 500 pieces 500 pieces Non-automated 500 pieces 5-digit sort 3-digit sort 3/5 basic rate If you set Sort Through_Level to 3-digit, the 50 pieces at the ADC level combine with the 450 qualified non-presort pieces to make enough for another mailing. Those 500 pieces will mail at the cheaper 3/5 or basic rate. 150 User Guide Scheme options: flats Several options apply to First Class flats mailings only. Mail height You can set the minimum and maximum height of the mail in the flat tray (tub), in inches. We suggest that you leave the minimum tray height set to 8 inches. At this setting, packages will reach at least up to the bottom of the hand holds, which the USPS recommends. Do not set the maximum tray height greater than 11. 25 inches. If you do, the packages will extend above the top of the tub and you won't be able to close the lid. Number of stacks You must indicate the number of mail stacks that you can fit into a flat tray (tub). The USPS wants you to use the space in flat trays efficiently. So, if the size of the mail piece allows, place multiple stacks in flat trays. If there's room in the tray, you could tip a single package on its side and place it next to a stack, as shown at right; then you'd set the Number of Stacks option to 2. 5.
