Messages Custom Messaging enables you to enter text at the Control Center which
can print directly on envelopes as they pass through the mailing system.
Custom messages can be saved in the memory of the system, and recalled
whenever appropriate to print. In the Control Center, this feature is shown
as “Text Entries.”

The Custom Messaging capability of your DM Series™ mailing system has
several applications. Use it for all outgoing mail that does not have a pre-
printed custom message such as Business Reply Mail. Even if you use a
pre-printed custom message on outgoing mail, this capability can be used
to define a department or section of your organization for “return mail.” By
implementing this as a process, undeliverable mail can bypass the Mail
Center, and be returned directly to the department that generated the mail-
ing.
