Advanced Facer Canceler System 200 – USPS Definition

Advanced Facer Canceler System 200 (AFCS 200)

A major upgrade to the Advanced Facer Canceler System with Optical Character Reader (AFCS/OCR) that retains all the functionality of the AFCS/OCR and adds image-based indicia detection, a switchback module that switches trail-oriented mail to lead orientation, a POSTNET barcode printer, and a two-tier 12-bin stacker module. The AFCS 200 faces and cancels collection mail, reads barcodes on prebarcoded mail, and identifies by OCR and prints a POSTNET barcode on mail that is not already barcoded. Most mail from an AFCS 200 can bypass the Delivery Bar Code Sorter/Output Subsystem (DBCS/OSS) and flow directly to a DBCS.
