  • Webscan IMB-POSTNET Software Sheet Reseller Version
    IMB/POSTNET Intelligent Mail barcodes are used in the USPS mailstream to increase the eciency of deliveries. Intelligent Mail barcodes combine routing ZIP code information and tracking information into a single 4-state code. It encodes data from POSTNET and PLANET barcodes into a single barcode while providing a greater range of tracking data. Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) 4 State POSTNET Barcode POSTNET barcodes encode a ZIP code or ZIP+4 code into half and full-height bars. Most often the delivery point is added, usually being the last two digits of the address or PO box number. In 2013, POSTNET barcodes were replaced with Intelligent Mail barcodes (IMB) by the USPS. IMB symbols encode data in 4-state bars which can be one of: tracker, decender, ascender, or full height bars. Correctly printing IMB symbols is critical for commercial mailers, as the USPS imposing penalties (in the form of higher postal rates, or non-approval of mail systems) for non-conforming symbols. However, it is almost impossible to know if an IMB system will meet USPS requirements. Webscan bar code veriers ll this void by applying tests to IMB symbols according to requirements specied in USPS-B-3200. Support for Postnet and Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) is available as an optional feature in Webscan bar code veriers. To enable this feature, a license le must be purchased and loaded into the verier unit (under the Help Menu, Activate Feature). The license le is tied to the "Board Serial Number" found in the Help About window in the software. Postnet and IMB symbols are veried in accordance with USPS-B-3200 and Merlin* test criteria and reported with Pass (meets USPS requirements), Good (does not pass all USPS-B-3200 requirements but does pass Merlin test criteria), Warning (does not pass all USPS-B-3200 requirements and generates a “Warning” message under "Merlin" test criteria) or Failure (does not pass all USPS-B-3200 requirements and generates a “Failure” message under “Merlin” test criteria).
