Planet
SR61xA (area imager) and SR61xE (near-far range area imager)
only. Enables or disables decoding of Planet symbology. The
United States Postal Service (USPS) uses a combination of two
tracking numbers (the Postnet code and Planet code) to track a
customer’s piece of mail. A Planet symbol has 12 or 14 digits.
Plessey
Enables or disables decoding of Plessey symbology. Plessey code is
pulse-width modulated like most other bar codes and includes a
start character, data characters, an eight-bit cyclic check digit, a
termination bar, and usually a reverse start character. The code is
continuous and not self-checking. You need to configure two
parameters for Plessey code: Start Code and Check Digit.
Postamble
Sets the postamble that is appended to any data you scan.
Common postambles include cursor controls such as a tab or a
carriage return line feed. You can set up to 20 ASCII characters
for Postamble.
Postnet
SR61xA (area imager) and SR61xE (near-far range area imager)
only. Enables or disables decoding of Postal Numeric Encoding
Technique (Postnet) symbology. The Postnet bar code was
invented by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to encode
ZIP information. Enabling your letter printing system as Postnet-
capable allows you to receive a discount on postage. The U.S.A.
delivery address coding can be of three forms (1) 5-digit ZIP; (2)
5-digit ZIP + 4 code (3) 11-digit delivery point code. So a valid
Postnet bar code contains either 32 bars, 52 bars or 62 bars.
Postnet is a numeric symbology. Different from most other
symbologies, Postnet has requirements to the actual bar height
and width. The information is encoded in the height and has
nothing to do with the spaces.
Preamble
Sets the preamble that precedes any data you scan. Common
preambles include a data location number or an operator
number. You can set Preamble to up to 20 ASCII characters.
