Special Note on FIM Barcode
FIM (Face Identification Marking) barcode was developed by the USPS as
part of their POSTNET barcoding system. It is normally used by high-volume
mailers to put on return envelopes for their customers’ invoices.
When the invoices are mailed back in their return envelope, the USPS sorts
and processes this mail according to what version of FIM barcode is used on
the envelope: FIM A (Postage required, POSTNET bar code included), FIM
C (Postage prepaid, POSTNET bar code included), and FIM D (Postage re-
quired, POSTNET bar code not included).
One of the requirements of the FIM barcode is that it needs to be printed
on the edge of the envelope (typically printed in the top right corner). This
is difficult to support by our printers, especially on the trail edge. Inverted
mode may supply a better print for the FIM, but any attempt to print to the
exact edge of the envelope is liable to "miss" the edge occasionally. Because
of these issues,
we cannot guarantee full USPS compliance for print-
ing FIM barcode
. As a result, some of our high-volume customers used
pre-printed envelopes containing the FIM barcode that meet USPS printing
specifications.
However, if you want to try printing the FIM using our printers, the Pitney
Bowes Envelope Designer Plus software allows you to place a FIM graphic
on the envelope. You can obtain photo-ready graphics directly from the
USPS (the Envelope Designer software itself can not create the FIM barcode
graphic). When printing, use the inverted orientation since the printer is more
accurate at printing items near the leading edge.
