The Intelligent Mail^® barcode is a height-modulated barcode designed for use in high speed, automated, mail sortation machines that allow both the Planet Code^® and POSTNET barcode information to be combined into a single barcode with expanded tracking capability.

Utilizing four different states of "bars" in the Intelligent Mail^® barcode allows more information to be provided in this single barcode. The four possible
states are:

• Tracker (neither ascender nor descender)
• Full (both ascender and descender)
• Ascender only
• Descender only

Choose from the following tools to decode or encode tracking and delivery point ZIP Code™ Information:

  The Decoder Tool helps you convert sequence of bars into meaningful tracking and delivery point ZIP information.
    The Encoder Tool helps you to generate a barcode based on tracking and delivery point ZIP^® information.
