Summary Verification Report 
The Summary Verification Report describes summary information about a mail run.  The types of analyses run on the sample are shown here as well as the USPS acceptance rate and MERLIN’s results for each analysis.  If an analysis that affects postage rates failed, the postage due is also shown. The Summary Verification Report is updated with the transport feeder speed information.  This speed reflects the last selection made by the user before the report was generated. Figure 5- 19 shows the report.
