The system optimizes their request, and sends the documents to various print sites strategically located throughout the country. This distributed printing is based on the ZIP Codes contained within their address list. This system is called Mailing Online (MOL). Typically all customer interaction is through various web pages that make up the user interface of the MOL system. However, there exists another method that allows the customer to use the system without going through the interactive web pages. This is accomplished by utilizing the 'Mail Management Language' (MML) that is an integral part of MOL."
