The UnitedStates Postal Service defines POSTNET Barcodes in USPS Publication #25,A Guide To Business Mail Preparation.Because of the strict specification requirements, POSTNET barcodes differfrom other barcodes in several ways. These differences are discussed belowfollowing instructions on accessing POSTNET in Code V.Accessing POSTNET in CVCCTo access POSTNET in Code V, use the following command:^IBARC,POSTNET,N,98032^-OrientationBy using a Graphics Pass command, you may position a POSTNET barcodeanywhere on your printer output. (See Chapter 1, page 15, for instructionsonusing Graphics Passes). Since POSTNET barcodes are intended to beread by Postal Service scanners, you should position your barcodes wherethey may be easily read. USPS Publication #25 tells you where to positionPOSTNET barcodes.HeightThe Postal Service requires that POSTNET barcodes be a specific height, butyou do not have to enter the correct height value when you use a GraphicsPass. When you enter a Graphics Pass command to position a POSTNETbarcode, the correct height is automatically chosen for you. Any other heightvalue you may enter is ignored in favor of the correct value.CPIThe Postal Service requires POSTNET barcodes to be of specific resolution,as defined by dots per inch (DPI). POSTNET codes must be 105 DPIhorizontally and 72 DPI vertically. For the height value, the correct POSTNETDPI values are automatically chosen. Any other DPI values you may enter ina Graphics Pass command will have no effect on the POSTNET barcode.Other DPI values will however, effect characters other than POSTNETbarcodes.
