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
- 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.
