US Postnet Barcodes

The printer can print barcodes in three different formats. The default, 24 bars

per inch, uses the same syntax as the other barcodes. It is suggested to use

the ESC*Z0Q command to disable placement of a header on postal barcodes.

The printer will also print barcodes using the 256X format for 20 and 22.5 bars

per inch postal barcodes. See the section on 256X - US Barcodes for more

details. 5525B/31/32 style Postnet barcodes will automatically generate the

check digit if it is not present. The 256X-compatibility barcodes require the

host to generate the check digit. If a non-valid character or string length is

used, a blank non-readable bar code will be printed; non-valid characters are

not substituted or deleted. The width of the printed bar code is not variable

and is 1.33 (5 digit), 2.17 (9 digit), or 2.59 (11 digit) inches.
