Positions Of Postal Service Barcodes |

WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer wants the barcode to print at the bottom right corner of the envelope. Solutions: The US Postal Service recommends, if possible, that the postnet barcodes be printed in the lower right corner conforming to specific measurements. Currently, about 80% of the post offices with barcode capabilities are set up with wide scan capabilities and the remaining post offices are converting. With wide scan, there are four locations where the barcode can be positioned: 1. Above the address 2. On the last line, following the ZIP code 3. Right below the ZIP code 4. Imbedded in the address above name of recipient These locations allow a barcode to be printed on a label or by printers that cannot print within .25" of the bottom of an envelope. Specifications: 1. 3.25" - 4.5" from the right 2. Within .63" of the bottom, preferably .25" from the bottom 3. Address should not go below .63" on the bottom 4. Bars should be between .19" and .44" in height The reason to use the positions above the address is that there is not a way of determining the proper position if the customer changes the envelope size, and a lot of printers cannot print within .25" of the bottom of a page. |
