Barcode Technology - POSTNet
Barcode
Hide the description |
The PostNet (Postal Numeric
Encoding Technique) is a code by
the US Post Office. It encodes
the zip of the
addressee in a machine readable
format. This improves the speed
of sorting and delivering the
mail.. |
The PostNet barcode is used
mainly in 3 variants, that
differ in the length of the
data:
5 digits POSTNET barcode:
5 digit long zip code
ZIP + 4 POSTNET barcodes:
9 digit long zip code
DPBC POSTNET barcode (Delivery
Point barcode): 9 digit
long zip code + 2 DPBC digits. |
Valid characters:
0123456789 |
POSTNet 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. |
POSTNet is 1D barcode.
The PostNet barcode is
constructed as follows:
Start character
Data
Check digit
Stop character.
POSTNet is variable with
no fixed length. |

Check digit:
The check digit is calculated as
follows: First add all digits.
The difference of this sum to
the next multiple of 10 is the
check digit. The check digit of
the PostNet barcode is not
displayed in the plain text
line.
The check digit is chosen so
that the sum of all digits in
the bar code is a multiple of
10. Equivalently, the modulo-10
sum is 0.
To calculate the check digit:
Add up the digits. For example,
if a letter is sent to Young
America, Minnesota, it might be
sent to 55555-1237, which would
have the sum of 38.
Find the remainder of this
number when it is divided by 10,
in this case 8. This is also
known as the sum modulo 10. A
simple way to combine the two
steps is to sum the digits
without a tens column at all,
but discard all carries.
Subtract the sum modulo 10 from
10. Continuing with the example,
10 − 8 = 2. The check digit is
therefore 2.
If calculated correctly, the sum
of the ZIP, ZIP+4, or
ZIP+4+delivery point digits and
the check digit will always be a
multiple of 10. Continuing with
the example above,
(5+5+5+5+5+1+2+3+7+2) = 40, and
40 mod 10 = 0.
Note that the Delivery Point is
often added after the ZIP+4 and
before the check digit, in which
case the computation of the
check digit includes the ZIP+4
and the Delivery Point. |
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 Barcode system eliminates
the possibility of human error.
The error rate of manually
entering data is
significantly higher than that
of scan barcodes. Barcode
scanning is fast and reliable,
and it takes much less time than
manual data entry. Especially
when using a QR code, hundreds
of characters can be read and
entered into your system
instantly.
When barcodes are used in
management information systems,
they can promote better
decision-making. Because data is
obtained quickly and accurately,
you can quickly obtain a full
range of information for the
entire company or organization,
so it is possible to make more
informed decisions. Better
decisions can ultimately save
time and money.
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. |
