We do all of our work outside of fusion pro - (read combine the tracking number and the barcode and then converting it to the datf code). we just insert the datf code and change the font and don't have problems with it. We run it at 17pt with a 12 point leading on our digital devices and 15 point or so on our inkjet devices - we took samples down to the post offices of the different type of machines and saw what ran the best. If you are just inserted your preconverted data as it sounds like you are doing - there really isn't anything that fusionpro has to do with it - you are just representing your data with a font. We also use the usps4cb.ttf font. Working on a pc. It is only as good as the data - take the data and put it in the decoder before it gets to fusion pro - it needs to test out well there as well in the decoder.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 10:18 AM To: FusionPro Users Forum Subject: [fusionpro] Re: 4State Bar Code (Intelligent Mail) I was able to generate the 4State barcode in Mail Manager and create the .txt file to use in FusionPro. When I insert the variable and apply the USPS4CB.ttf font, it does generate the bars. However, I took the D A T F code and plugged it into the decoder located at http://ribbs.usps.gov/OneCodeSolution/Barcode_Decoder.Aspx and it seems that the barcode generated in FusionPro is not correct. I have the same needs as you do as well as the need to make this work for ink jetting jobs. I'll be happy to share anything I can find with you. I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if you find anything.
