This section provides information for defining your AddrScan processing options.

  1. To perform AddrScan processing, click AddrScan. For more information on AddrScan processing, refer to "AddrScan Option" on page 159.
    Note: AddrScan can only be used if your input is defined in label line format, using the iL1-iL6 input field names. If defining any address components, like iAddress1, or iCity, etc. will result in an initialization error being written out to the joblog.
  2. To define the AddrScan addressing options, follow these steps:
    1. To prevent AddrScan from concatenating lines beginning with # to existing address lines, enter # in the AddrScanAO field. This field is only available when AddrScan processing is selected (see previous step).
    2. To prevent AddrScan from recognizing periods as valid characters and to specify that periods should be removed before scanning address lines, enter a P in the AddrScanAO field. This field is only available when AddrScan processing is selected (see previous step).
    3. To prevent AddrScan from concatenating one-word lines to address lines, enter a D in the AddrScanAO field. This field is only available when AddrScan processing is selected (see previous step).
      Note: The values #, P, and D can populate any of the first three positions of the AddrScanAO field.
  3. To define the AddrScan return options and override the Returned Line Order, you can specify up to 9 codes in the AddrScanRO field. For more details, refer to Chapter 8 AddrScan Option. Valid Returned Line Order codes are:
    Table 1. Returned Line Order
    Code Description
    0 Firm line
    1 PO Box address line
    2 Address line with both a range and a suffix word
    3 Address line with a range but no suffix, address line with a suffix but no range
    4 Rural route address line
    5 Personal name, firm name (without firm words), unidentified
    6 Apartment type line
    7 Possible city line
    8 City line
    9 Ignore this line
    R Rural route address line preceding a box line
    B Box address line following a rural route address line
    M Military address line
