PrintForm will support both the Postnet barcode and the new Intelligent Mail barcode for the transition period where the USPS allows mailers to use either one. You cannot intermix the Postnet and IM barcodes on different output files. PrintForm displays an error message if it detects a job set up like this. Tray/Sack and Container (Pallet) Intelligent Mail barcodes are handled in the same way that Presort and Label Studio currently handle them. Set up Presort to post information to a container output file which Label Studio then picks up for tag or placard printing. New IM barcode field During the Define Statement Fields step, PrintForm uses the 65 character field, IMB_ADR_EC for IM barcode processing. You must post either the Presort IMB_ADR_EC or IMB_ADR_AC field to this field during input posting as these fields include the encoded barcode string. The Barcode Type option enables you to choose to print the Postnet barcode or the Intelligent Mail barcode. To access Printer Barcode Setup, select Tools > Printer Barcode and select New Setup or Open Setup.
