PostNetBarCode component (TRavePostNetBarCode) - Bar Code Tab

PostNet bar code is different from other bar code types in that it's shape and size is fixed by rules from the USPS (United States Postal Service). Therefore, all properties dealing with the shape or size should not be changed. This includes the properties that define the Checksum or its behavior.

PostNetBarCode uses the POSTNET (POSTal Numeric Encoding Technique) bar code and is specifically used by the Postal Service. It encodes ZIP Code information on letter mail for rapid and reliable sorting by bar code sorters. The PostNetBarCode can represent a five-digit ZIP code (32 bars), a nine-digit ZIP+4 code (52 bars), or an eleven-digit delivery point code (62 bars). Be aware that for the Post Office to recognize the bar code as being valid strict adherence to the guidelines must be met. Current standards require that the five digit zip plus four be used plus the two digit carrier route, which is most often obtained from the first two digits of the street address. It is recommended that the user check with the Post Office to obtain a copy of their current guidelines.
