Data string from above format and the barcode structure:
Barcode Identifier
The Barcode Identifier field is a 2-digit field reserved for future use to encode
the presort identification that is currently printed in human-readable form on
the optional endorsement line.
Special Services
The Special Services field is a 3-digit field that identifies the type of service.
Customer Identifier
The Customer Identifier field is a 6-digit number identifying the mailer.
Sequence Number
The Sequence Number is a 9-digit field. For Destination Confirm, this field
holds the existing Mailing ID field, which is a 4- or 6-digit field. The Mailing
ID field can be expanded to 9 digits if so desired. Otherwise, leading zeros
should be used to fill the field completely. When using Origin Confirm, the
Customer Identifier field and the Sequence Number field may be combined
into a 15-digit field to hold the existing 9- or 11- digit Customer field plus
additional digits. If these fields are not expanded to 15 digits, leading zeros
should be used to fill the field completely.
Routing ZIP Code
The Routing ZIP Code field will accommodate 0, 5, 9 or 11 digit ZIP Code
information. Confirm requires a 9- or 11-digit Routing ZIP to serves as
"Subscriber ID" for Origin Confirm users. The routing ZIP Code inserted into
the 4CB must be registered in the Confirm account.
