<P>Australia Post Standard Customer Barcode, Customer Barcode 2 and
Customer Barcode 3 are 37-bar, 52-bar and 67-bar specifications
respectively, developed by Australia Post for printing Delivery Point
ID (DPID) and customer information on mail items. Valid data
characters are 0-9, A-Z, a-z, space and hash (#). A Format Control
Code (FCC) is added by Zint and should not be included in the input
data. Reed-Solomon error correction data is generated by Zint.
Encoding behaviour is determined by the length of the input data
according to the formula shown in the following table:</P>

2008-07-14 09:15:55 +12:00
<P>Also known as the Intelligent Mail Barcode and used in the US by
the United States Postal Service (USPS), the OneCode system is due to
replace the PostNet and PLANET symbologies by 2009. OneCode is a
fixed length (65-bar) symbol which combines routing and customer
information in a single symbol. Input data consists of a 20 digit
tracking code, followed by a dash (-), followed by a delivery point
zip-code which can be 0, 5, 9 or 11 digits in length. For example all
of the following inputs are valid data entries:</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier">&quot;01234567094987654321&quot;<BR>&quot;01234567094987654321-01234&quot;<BR>&quot;01234567094987654321-012345678&quot;<BR>&quot;01234567094987654321-01234567891&quot;</FONT></P>
