Barcode Technology - 4-State (PastBar)
Barcode
Hide the description |
PostBar, also known as CPC
4-State, is the black-ink
barcode system used by Canada
Post in its automated mail
sorting and delivery operations.
It is similar to other 4 State
barcode systems used by
Australia Post and the United
Kingdom's Royal Mail (from which
it derives), but uses an
obscured structure and encoding
system unique to Canada Post.
This particular bar code system
is used on "flats" (which are
larger-than-letter-size pieces
of mail, such as magazines) and
parcels. |
Valid characters:
0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ |
Although all 4 State Bar Codes
are based upon the same
character set and all barcodes
look very similar, there
are nevertheless strong
distinctions, ensuring the
uniqueness of the individual
codes. For the main part, these
distinctions lie in the
algorithms for the check digit
calculation, but also in the
prefix and affix of the
information characters.
Furthermore, some of these codes
only support figures, others
however support also letters.
Different compression procedures
are also used for a compact
display of the information
characters. The user must in no
way carry out any substitutions,
as for example to print out the
Canadian post barcode (Canadian
Post Corporation) for mail to
England (Royal Mail Customer
Code). |
This symbology, derived from the
RM4SCC system used by the
British Royal Mail, uses a
series of bars, each of
which can individually have one
of four possible states, to
encode information used in
automated sortation and delivery
onto each piece of mail. Each
bar can either be short and
centred (known as a tracker),
medium and elevated (an
ascender), medium and lowered (a
descender), or full height. This
symbology also uses an element
known as a Data Content
Identifier (or DCI), which
specifies what types of
information are encoded into
each barcode, such as postal
codes, customer information, and
exact delivery points. The
information that goes into each
barcode is obtained from the
address printed on the front of
the envelope it is ultimately
printed on, as well as the
physical dimensions of each
piece of mail. This code also
uses a Reed-Solomon error
correction technique, so that in
case a particular piece of mail
is mishandled, the information
encoded in the barcode can still
be correctly decoded. |
4-State is one of the many
barcode formats currently in
use. |
A Barcode is a method of
representing data in a visual,
machine-readable form. |
The barcode formats has two
categories: |
One-dimensional (1D) ---
Barcodes represented data by
varying the widths and spacings
of parallel lines. |
Two-dimensional (2D) --- Using
rectangles, dots, hexagons and
other geometric patterns to
represented data. |
 |
|
4-State is 1D barcode.
4-State is variable with
no fixed length. |

Check digit:
Owing to the predefined setup of
every single character, i.e.
each consisting of two
descenders and two ascenders,
the necessary security is
already given. Further, the code
contains a check digit that is
automatically generated by the
?Visual Bar Code DesignerĄ°. The
check digit is calculated
separately for the single postal
administrations (e.g. Royal
Mail, Australia Post, etc.)
according to different
specifications, so that no
mix-up of the 4 State symbols
can occur between the individual
postal administrations.. |
Human Readable:
Most barcodes display their
corresponding values below them,
which makes it possible to human
read and manually enter
the barcode values into the
equivalent system when the
barcode label is worn out and
cannot be read by the barcode
scanner. |
The Advantages of using
barcodes:
If you want to reduce costs and
save time, using barcodes is a
good choice. Whether you are a
company or a non-commercial
organization, to improve
efficiency and reduce overhead,
barcodes are a valuable and
viable option, which is
economical and reliable.
Using a barcode system can make
the working process simple and
easy, so it can reduces the
employee training time. It only
takes a few minutes to master
the barcode scanner to
collecting data, employees no
need to familiar with the entire
inventory or pricing process.
This also reduces the cost of
employee training.
The bar code design and printing
cost are low. Generally
speaking, no matter how they are
used or where they are posted,
the cost is not high. They can
be customized economically, in a
variety of finishes and
materials.
Barcodes are cheap and
user-friendly, providing an
indispensable tool for tracking
data from pricing to inventory.
The end result of a
comprehensive bar code system is
reduced overhead. |
