Four-State Bar Codes
Four-State Bar Codes are similar to POSTNET bar codes, except they have four states instead of
two. In addition to the tall bar and short bare, there is an ascending bar and a descending bar.
Four-state bar codes are supported for the UK Postal Service and the Dutch Postal Service.
The syntax for the UK Postal Service Four-State Bar code is:
ESC P c data
1B 50 63 data
The syntax for the Dutch Postal Service KIX Bar code is:
ESC P d data
1B 50 64 data
Once in the Four-State Bar Code Mode, the rules are the same as those described in POSTNET
Mode, above.
PLANET Bar Codes
PLANET is similar to POSTNET in "look and feel", and is intended to complement the use of
POSTNET for mass mailers. For more information, see the PLANET Bar Code website,
http://www.planetcodes.com/ . The escape sequence for printing PLANET bar codes is:
ESC P f data
1B 50 66 data
Once in the PLANET Bar Code Mode, the rules are the same as those described in POSTNET
Mode, above.
