Application No. 08/196,440

The invention is directed to an electronic page inverter
for a mail treatment system which stores a sequence of binary
words representing the alphanumeric characters of a letter as
they are delivered by a word processor system, and plays back
the pages of the letter to the printer in inverse order, last
page to first page, so that the printer prints them in that
inverse manner. By performing this function, the present
invention is useful with a mail processing system having the
type of printer which output letters in an order which is
suitable for direct insertion into an envelope by a folder-
inserted apparatus. An automatic folder-inserter apparatus is
used in connection with this invention thereby drastically
improving the efficiency of the system without the need for
changing the printer or requiring a change in the software of
the word processor by which the letters to be printed are
