This allows users to interactively enter a series of addresses from a mailing to check whether it is in forward or reverse LOT sequencing. R.R. Donnelley recently presented Firstlogic's LOT-Check solution to high-level USPS officials and leaders from the printing and mailing industry at the USPS-sponsored Mailer's Technical Advisory Committee (MTAC MTAC Music Teachers' Association of California MTAC Midwest Technology Assistance Center for Small Public Water Systems MTAC Multimedia Technology and Applications Conference MTAC Multiple Threat Alert Center MTAC Mailer's Technical Advisory Committee ) in Washington, D.C.

Early Life In 1976, Peter, and a few other students, started the campus radio broadcast station CHRW, while at the University of Western Ontario ("UWO") in London, Ontario. & Associates, said, "Firstlogic's LOT-Check solution is the kind of breakthrough we were needing. Printers and mailers feel they have had no solution for this issue. They have been subject to serious USPS penalties for incorrect LOT sequence preparations that might have been done long ago and in far-away locations. LOT-Check gives them a powerful tool to immediately validate the sequence of the carrier line-of-travel before they go into production. With LOT-Check, the mailer won't have the cost of re-doing a run and won't incur large USPS penalties, and the USPS will realize the cost-savings of a correct LOT sequence." "The availability of the new LOT-Check solution is further validation of Firstlogic's 17-year tradition of innovation in the mailing industry," said Art Petty, vice president of marketing at Firstlogic. "The flexibility of our technology, coupled with unparalleled industry expertise, allows us to rapidly develop solutions to help mailers stave off ever-increasing costs associated with getting mail to its final destination." The LOT-Check solution is available through Firstlogic's eDataQuality ASP Website, and as on-site customizable Rapid Deployment and programmable Active X utilities. It is a universal solution designed to work with any address correction and enhancement technology.
