We use Mail Manager 2010 as well and have a script that converts the
AFDT to 0123, here it is.
var onecode = Field("Intelligent Mail Barcode"); //Replace "FATD" with
Field("Intelligent Mail Barcode")
onecode = onecode.replace(/F/g,"0"); // replaces all F with 0
onecode = onecode.replace(/A/g,"1"); // replaces all A with 1
onecode = onecode.replace(/T/g,"3"); // replaces all T with 3
onecode = onecode.replace(/D/g,"2"); // replaces all D with 2
return onecode;
We create a rule called OneCode and this is now the barcode.

Subject: [fusionpro] RE: IM barcode
There seems to be very little help for IMB. I had to figure it out for
myself. The Fusion Pro rule is "MakeOneCodeBarcode" and is in the Rules
Guide documentation. The most frustrating part, though, is providing the
necessary data to the rule.
The default font for this rule is, as previously mentioned
"IDAutomation4State" which uses the 0, 1, 2, and 3 characters to created
the barcode. My mail sorting program, Mail Manager 2010, creates the
code
using the F, A, D, and T characters. So I cannot use the string
generated
by my mail software. The font (available from USPS) used by my mail
software, which runs on a Windows PC, doesn't seem to work in Fusion Pro
on a Mac.
So I configure Mail Manager to provide digits (what the barcode actually
represents when decoded) instead of printable characters. The problem
here
is that Mail Manager provides one long 25-31 digit string and the
MakeOneCodeBarcode rule wants 20 characters in the "Tracking" string and
0-11 characters in the "Routing" string. So I break it up using the
following rule:
var imb = Field(IntelligentMailBarcode);
return MakeOneCodeBarcode(imb.substr(0,20),imb.substr(20),12);
The "12" at the end is the point size I use. The software defaults to 10
point which does not meet the postal regulations for space between bars.
I
could and have on rare occasions used 11 pt. But I use 12pt for good
measure. The resulting barcode is nearly 3" long.
I hope all this has been helpful.
