zapprint Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 We are exporting from Accuzip into FusionPro, using their barcode data field and using the PostNet font in FPD, everything looks great but it seems a leading and trailing "|" bar are missing, I have compared to USPS barcode on mail delivered to us. Is there something on the input or font side we should be doing? Obviously don't want the mail kicked back. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyrSyx Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Most barcodes require a "start/stop" character and so does the USPS Postnet. The font that we use has the "start/stop" in the character asterisk (*). All we have to do is put an asterisk in front and after the barcode. The other character we've seen in other barcode fonts using is the exclimation (!). Of course, please test this with yours to be sure it's working correctly.

esmith Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 We surround our POSTNET barcodes with parentheses "("barcode")" added in a basic rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpaterick Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Zap, Does the export out of Accuzip for the barcode field have the "pipes." Also, found this for you http://www.accuzip.com/forum/index.php?sid=46fe93c3840b191e25c24b9576cdde28 Seems like a pretty good support forum for Accuzip.

zapprint Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 It seems between the users here and Accuzip, we were able to determine we need "*" asterisks at each end to create the code properly. Not sure how it will translate into the intelligent one now Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
