3.3.6 Australia 4-state barcodes
The Australia Post 4-state barcode was introduced to improve sorting results and to
enable the accurate selection of individual postal items. Australia Post uses a unique
eight character Delivery Point Identifier (DPID), which is allocated to each delivery
address in the postal address file (PAF).
The DPID is printed in barcode format on letters as part of an address. It is encoded
to create the main part of the customer barcode.
PCL Barcode Flash converts the eight character DPID into a barcode, and
information about the customer can also optionally be inserted.
The following four barcode structures are available:
1. Australia 4-state 37-CUST (Standard)
PCL T parameter: 24785
Activation: <Esc>(s24785T<Base Data><Stop Character>
PRESCRIBE number: 45
Activation: !R!BARC 45,C,"Base Data"; EXIT;
