Symbologies
USPS4CB Status
Usage: USPS4CB , also called Intelligent Mail , is used by the United States Postal
Service to sort and track individual items as well as flats of mail. USPS4CB
combines the capabilities of POSTNET and PLANET, and can encode 31
digits (65 bars). USPS4CB symbols are slightly longer than POSTNET
symbols, and offer additional flexibility in choosing symbol height and width.
Data is encoded in four types of bars (“states”), each of which is identified
by a name and a value. This type of postal symbol is known as “4-state”.
Each bar has a “tracker”, or middle section, to which an “ascender” (top
section) or “descender” (bottom section) may be added. The 4-state format
allows the symbol to contain more information, and makes it easier to
decode. 4-state symbols can also be printed easily in a variety of media,
including dot matrix, inkjet, and laser.
Definition: If U.S. Post and USPS4CB Status are both enabled, the reader will
decode USPS4CB symbols.
