USPS certification ensures QMS customers that they can take advantage of the cost-saving "ZIP + 4" barcodes to get reduced postage rates when generating mail pieces on their network laser printer. POSTNET barcodes, which are codes that refer to specific 5 digit ZIP codes and carrier route codes, greatly reduce the cost of each piece of mail, and improve the speed of delivery by conforming to the needs of USPS automated mail sorters. Mail with POSTNET barcodes is sorted and routed first, while those pieces without barcodes are rerouted through optical address readers and assigned barcodes before delivery. "The cost and time efficiencies gained by using POSTNET barcodes are dramatic, and give corporations yet another creative solution to increase productivity, while lowering expenses," said Richard Bowles, vice president of marketing for QMS. "A network workhorse printer like the QMS 2425 with POSTNET capability is a very attractive value for customers that produce numerous mailings in-house, but still need a great laser printer for general office use."
