You must fill in the county table if you mail any of your publications periodical class and want to take advantage of discounted postal rates. See U.S. Postal Form 3541 for information on In-County periodical class rates and the Intra-SCF discount.
Say you fill in this table and link it to a publication. When you run the 'Label Splitter', the 'Label splitter' report will now show the number of copies to addresses within the county and within the sectional center.
Defining county tables
When you select 'County tables' under 'Definitions' on the main menu you'll see one of two screens. If you select this menu item for the first time after installing QuickFill, you'll see a screen with a blank form for defining the county table.
If you've already defined some county tables, you'll see a list of the tables that you've defined in the upper portion of the screen and the "New," "Change," "Replicate," and "Delete" options running along the bottom.
If you haven't yet defined any county tables, fill in the ranges of zip codes for the county and sectional center facility—you get this information from the U.S. Post Office—and click on "OK" to save your changes.
You can define another table by clicking on "New," filling in the fields described below, and then clicking on "OK." If the county table you want to define next is similar to one you've already defined, you can replicate the existing table by moving the cursor to the county table you want to replicate and clicking on "Replicate."
County table description
Enter a descriptive label for your table—for example, "Boston POE Table."
Zip code ranges for addresses within county
Use these fields to enter the ranges of zip codes within the county. You must enter the full, five-digit zip code.
Zip code ranges for addresses within sectional center facility
Use these fields to enter the ranges of zip codes within the sectional center facility. You need to enter only the first three digits of the zip code.
You can also change the definition of a county table by moving the cursor to the table you want to change and double clicking on it, or clicking on "Change." You can delete a table that is not being used by moving the cursor on the county table you want to delete and clicking on "Delete."
To delete a county table that is being used, you must first remove that table from any publications to which it is linked. You would do so on the 'Issue labels' tab of the publication definition.
You link your county tables to a specific publication on the 'Issue labels' tab of the publication definition. If you have several publications but don't mail them all from the same location, define one table for each location.
