1994 - The Meter Stamp Society

NIXDDRFS
REVISI1ED AGAIN
Norbert roomer tells me there are a Iniost 800 Nixdorf numbers, and they are being
added to as Fast as Canada Post can pursuade any local store to invest in one.
Ihere are ditlicuities out there so hero i am adding to the qossip.
Did you realize that an RPO may have three or four oostal codes? he primary
posLat code is that printed on the receipt and is that of the RPO itself. When
I asked about it in Guelph the clerk noted the code was wrong so she was going
to change it in the software. The second postal code is associated with the
business in which the RPO is located. When you ask, this is the code they will
1e11 you is the outlet and is wrong. the third *is for the group mail boxes in
the RPU. Where there is a double bank of boxes there may he a second postal
code
I am olanninq a CMSG catalog page For Nixdorfs so am interested in your thoughts.
[he paqe has to be based on md ;c a appearance rather than machine type such as
N3, N4 and MS. There is a lot of variety from Nb I to N5i66. From that point
there seems to be a standard ized format other than errors in spelling, or use.
The province is flow two letters: BC, AB, UN etc.
The 30 odd N4 meters have mostly been changed over. These were the original dot
matrix printers using the new form of software. The change from 113 to N5 is not
as quick. As you know the RPO’s had to but the expensive equipment. Canada Post
woulci dearly love to get all out tets using the same laser printer to achieve some
uniformity so cross the board changes can be made. They are said to be
subsidizing the change over. Norberts list shows a number of instances where
the out let has abandonded their Class A category and reverted to the Class B
‘toffee can’ system of cash management. This is probably a reflection of the
increased fees Canada Post made for the use of the printer.
Below, are flew items and changes Norbert has found
