Barcodes

[Mark]

Is there some resource that explains Postnet barcodes and the fonts to use in more detail than the FusionPro user guide?

[Ryan Graybeal]

That would be some great information to have. I would like info on all of the barcode fonts.

The fonts included with FusionPro are from IDAutomation. Their website has lots of information about different types af barcodes.

They have an intro to barcodes here:

Information about Postnet:

Lots of information on barcode usage from the USPS:

They have a handy plastic template you can overlay your design to make sure the address information is in the correct places. It is Notice 67. You can request one from your local USPS Business Mail unit.
