Royal Mail Barcode Fonts Overview
The
Royal Mail 4-State customer barcode, also known as RM4SCC, was created for
automated mail sorting processes and is normally used to print the postcode and
Delivery Point Suffix (DPS) on letters in a machine-readable format in England and
the United Kingdom. Royal Mail fonts also implement KIX codes as used by the
Dutch PTT for bulk mail addressing. 4-State RM4SCC barcodes are also used in
several other places including Singapore, Australia, and the Netherlands. The
RM4SCC barcode symbology 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 ")".
Encoding Tools Provided:
IDAutomation provides font-formatting functions to assist with integrating
the RM4SCC Royal Mail barcode font into applications for 4 State
barcodes in the following font encoder tools:
When generating a single barcode, consider using the
Online Barcode Font Encoder to

- The Developer License grants the right to convert the fonts to other formats
as necessary including TrueDoc and OpenType.
- With a purchase of the Developer License or above,
Web
Fonts are included in WOFF, EOT and SVG formats to easily display

Australian Post Address Font Information
The
Australian Post Address barcode is another implementation of the 4-State
RM4SCC 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.
