Abstract: A system and method for providing a presentation instrument in combination with a financial statement includes a host computer system and a printer communicatively coupled to the host computer system. A presentation instrument initializing machine is communicably coupled to the host computer system. The system also includes a mail processing machine. The host computer system is configured to determine when to consolidate the presentation instrument with the financial reporting information, to transmit instructions to the printer to print the financial reporting information, to transmit instructions to the presentation instrument initializing machine to initialize a presentation instrument and to transmit to the mail processing machine instructions to combine the presentation instrument with the printed financial reporting information.

Abstract: A mail processing device includes a reorientation arrangement that, when the mail processing device is in a first position, is configured to sequentially receive mail items from an upstream process and reorient each item such that the top side of a particular item from the upstream process becomes the bottom side of the item when placed in a downstream process. The device also includes a receiving arrangement configured to receive mail items from the upstream process and guide the mail items into the reorientation arrangement. The device also includes a controller that is programmed to cause the reorientation arrangement to reorient a mail item in response to the detection of the mail item by a sensor. The controller is further programmed to cause the mail item to be moved toward the downstream process after each mail item is reoriented.
