Definitions
- the printed information can be any suitable printed information.
- Contain destination information that is information about the consignee, which is used, for example, for sorting
- ID code an identification code
- Printing and reading technology should be as simple and cheap as possible, and reading reliability as high as possible
- Reading and printing technology as well as a reduction in reading security The invention specified in claim 1 is therefore based on the problem of uniquely encoding mail items with different sizes while maintaining the code character size and spacing selected for large mail items
- the uniqueness of the ID code is checked by making a statistic about the frequency of different lengths of previously processed items available for the ID code, which have an impact on the number of characters to be applied. The uniqueness is given, if for the one under consideration Period of time with which the number of ID codes adjusted to the length can be clearly differentiated
- a 10-digit decimal number in plain text is to be printed as a clear consignment identifier, to correspond to 100 million consignments per day over a period of 100
- the supply of 10 10 distinguishable strings does not only contain 10 characters
- the information to be printed is to be printed in bar / no-bar technology and consists of 40-bit drawing information and 40-bit ID code
- redundancy characters are added to the information to be printed.
- the total amount of printable character strings is made up of three subsets of character strings of different lengths. Depending on the measured mail item length, a character string is selected from the subset available on the standing space is just printable
- the code to be applied should represent information available as a decimal number. It is advantageous if the code can be easily deciphered by humans using a small template.
- bar-no-bar technology it is advisable to use a group to place every decimal number of 4 bars, which can then be easily deciphered using a 10-line table.
- 10 is sufficient Bars in bar-no-bar technology or 5 bars in 4-state bar technology to represent every 3-digit decimal number, because 2 10 > 1000 and 4 5 > 1000. The same applies if text is to be coded instead of decimal numbers.
