The MSI Plessey bar code is a fixed length code that uses only numerical
characters. It is primarily used for grocery applications. Three different
types of encoding exist with different levels of data protection. Please see
the bar code symbology specification for more information on how to
calculate these checksums.
You use Plessey for reverse compatibility only. We do not recommend
using this command for new systems. Plessey forces a 2:1 ratio of the wide
to narrow bar width.

You only use the US Postnet bar code to help automate mail delivery. To
comply with postal regulations, set the height of the bar code to 30 dots,
the wide/narrow bar ratio at 3.5:1, and the width of the narrow bar to
3 dots on a 200 dpi printer. The data sent to the bar code can be 5, 9, or
11 digits long. For example, to send mail to 6001 36
Everett, WA 98203-9280, the data would be
• 5 digits- ZIP Code only: 98203
• 9 digits - ZIP + 4 Code: 982039280
• 11 digits - ZIP + 4 Code and last two digits in address: 98203928001
