Apparatus is provided for processing a stationery item. The stationery item has a code identifying an addressee of the stationery item. The apparatus includes printing and feeding structures. The feeding structure includes instrumentalities for normally feeding the stationery item in a first feed path to the printing structure and for selectively feeding the stationery item in a second feed path out of the first feed path. Further, the feeding structure includes a code sensor. The apparatus additionally includes a computer. The computer is programmed for controlling the feeding structure, and includes a memory device for storing a dispositive data listing for the code. The dispositive data listing selectively includes data defining the second feed path. The controlling program includes a routine for causing the feeding structure to feed the stationery item in the second feed path when the code is sensed, and the dispositive data listing for the code includes the data defining the second feed path. The apparatus also includes structure for selectively changing the dispositive data listing, whereby the dispositive data listing may be changed to include the data defining the second feed path.
