Adding a POSTNET Bar Code to an Envelope

Get a POSTNET font

First thing to do is get a suitable POSTNET font. Do not be duped by the shareware notion of

'free', which must be interpreted as 'free download' of a demo or crippled version of a

commercial product for whichusersmust pay to use but, thanks to the the tenacity of Ross

Johnson, there is one available that works. Please see

http://www.adams1.com/pub/russadam/fonts.html and in the POSTNET group select

http://www.adams1.com/pub/russadam/shareware/uspsbarcode.ttf. This is listed as “A

POSTNET TTF”- author unknown and which is unconditionally free.

On Windows, simply install this font set by following the instructions for installing fonts that

come with Windows. This TrueType font can also be successfully installed into

OpenOffice.org on Linux in a similar manner using standard utilities. Once you've done that,

shutdown all OpenOffice.org windows and restart them, the font will be listed in the font list.

Now, one can type some numbers, select them, then change the font and, Voila!, POSTNET

bar code that is almost correct. In other words, this bar code is incomplete and will be

unacceptable if printed on the envelope as it is.

Note: Disable the default font preview mode so that one can see the font name listed. Failure to do so will cause

this font set to appear as a blank entry in the list.

a) In OpenOffice.org2x, Use Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > View > Font Lists and uncheck

Show preview of fonts.

b) In OpenOffice.org1.1.x, Use Tools > Options > General > View > Font Lists and uncheck Show

preview of fonts.

Building a Complete POSTNET Bar Code for Printing

While numbers can be represented by the bar code, a correct POSTNET bar code for most

postal services requires additional information.

The first piece of additional information is a check digit, which is calculated from the postal

code as follows :

1. Start with the Postal code, say '12345', and sum the digits:

1+2+3+4+5 = 15
