The Royal Mail 4-State Customer Code (RM4SCC) was created for automated mail sorting processes and is normally used to print the postcode and Delivery Point Suffix (DPS) on letters in machine readable format in England and the United Kingdom. The RM4SCC fonts also implement KIX codes as used by the Dutch PTT for bulk mail addressing. 4-State barcodes are also used in several other places including Singapore, Australia and the Netherlands. The symbology of RM4SCC is based on 36 symbols representing alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-Z), as well as start and stop bar characters which are represented by "(" and ")".

Features and Benefits of the Package Include:

• Several Font Tools are provided to assist with application integration. When it is necessary to create a single barcode, IDAutomation recommends using the Online Font Encoder. IDAutomation provides font formatting functions for RM4SCC in the following font tools:
  • .NET Assembly DLL
  • ActiveX DLL
  • Check Digit Calculator and Font Encoder
  • Crystal Reports UFL
  • LotusScript for Notes, Domino and Approach
  • Microsoft Office VBA (works well in Word Mail-Merge, Excel and Access)
  • OpenOffice and StarOffice VB Macros
  • Visual Basic Source Code (may be used as a guide for conversion to other languages)
  • Windows 32 bit DLL
• The TrueType version of the Royal Mail 4 State Customer Code bar code font is compatible with all versions of Windows® including 3.1, 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, XP and Vista.
• The Royal Mail 4-State Customer Code barcode font package includes one TrueType version and two PostScript versions. The PostScript barcode font may be used on Unix systems and may be directly downloaded into PostScript printers. Binary and ASCII versions are provided.
• TrueType fonts are supplied in PC and Macintosh format. The TrueType TTF fonts are compatible with Macintosh OS X and all versions of Microsoft Windows, including Pocket PC.
• The Developer License also grants the right to convert the fonts to other formats as necessary including TrueDoc and OpenType.

The Australian Post Address barcode is another implementation of the 4-State barcode. The Australian Post Address barcode operation uses different encoding tables than the RM4SCC barcode to encode 64 different barcodes in the "C Encoding Table" and 10 in the "N Encoding Table".

The Australia Post Address barcode may be printed with this package by sending the appropriate bar state value for each bar of the character to the printer with the "IDAutomation4State" font selected. For example, to produce the character "H" under the "C Encoding Table", send the text of "012" to the printer. To produce the number "7" under the "N Encoding Table", send the number "21" to the printer.

For more information about the Australia Post Address barcode, please visit the Future Post website. At this website they provide a guide to print the 4-State barcode and Visual Basic programming code for calculating the required Reed Solomon error correction.

Any execution of the 4-State barcode may be produced with the "IDAutomation4State" font. The following chart describes the encoding of the "IDAutomation4State" font:
