SIEMENS PARAMOUNT: the latest commercial delivery barcode sorter, the Paramount, offers great speed, accuracy, and availability. It is cost-effective, smarter, versatile, and reliable. An MLOCR version is also available by adding an OCR and barcode printer. Paramount expands the spectrum of mail that can be machine-processed. Paramount increases the maximum letter read height from 6-1/8 inches to 6-1/2 inches. The maximum letter thickness increases from 1/3 inch to ½ inch, and the maximum weight doubles from 3 to 6 ounces. Paramount offers the mailer the ability to process mail streams consisting of mail pieces ranging from single postcards to six ounce letters (heavy mail) without feeder adjustments. A vacuum module in the feeder facilitates singulation of slick, thick, and thin mail pieces at the pick-off point. The effective throughput achieved on the Paramount ranges from 42,500 #10 envelopes to 60,000 postcards per hour, making it one of the fastest machines on the market
