Key Features
Smart Automation & Barcode Security
The Relay 3500 integrates barcode-reading technology for enhanced document integrity and efficiency. The advanced camera system reads barcoded instructions, enabling automatic sorting, accumulation, folding, and inserting based on variable page counts. This ensures the right documents reach the right recipient—without manual sorting.
You can pair the Relay system with Pitney Bowes’ enrichment software to generate barcodes, validate addresses, and qualify mail for postal discounts, all without requiring IT support.
