HP LaserJet III - Printing ZIP Codes |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is using the HP LaserJet III printer and the Bar Codes and More font cartridge. The HP LaserJet III (Additional) driver is selected. The customer is trying to access the USPS ZIP 12pt BC font to print some ZIP codes. The customer types a ZIP code (08832-0130) on a blank document screen, and the barcode lines print incorrectly. The customer contacted HP, and there is no problem with the font cartridge. Solutions: The customer was using an incorrect procedure to obtain the ZIP codes. To print ZIP codes, the customer must begin and end the ZIP code with a frame bar (|). This is obtained by typing in an asterisk (*) in WordPerfect. This followed by the nine digit ZIP code (ZIP + 4). Do not include the hyphen (-) character. The tenth digit is called a correction character or number. This number is obtained by adding up all of the numbers in the nine digit ZIP code and adding the correction to bring the total number up to a multiple of ten. In the end, the customer should have frame bar + the nine digit ZIP code + correction number + the ending frame bar. This makes a total of 12 characters. For example, to obtain the ZIP code above (08832-0130): 1. Start with a frame bar: * 2. Follow the frame bar with the ZIP code: 088320130 3. Add the numbers from the ZIP code together. The sum is 25. To make it a multiple of ten, add five. 4. Add the correction character to the string: 5. 5. End the string with the frame bar: * 6. The string typed on the screen should read *0883201305* When the customer used this formula, the ZIP code printed correctly. |
