Using IMpb barcodes with <CODE128>

This sample illustrates how to encode an Intelligent Mail package barcode (IMpb), including the required FNC1 character. To generate the FNC1 character in an Enrichment-generated Code 128 barcode, you must use x'16'. Different IMpb formats may require the FNC1 character in fewer, or different, locations.

For more information about:

Code 128 barcodes, see the Enrichment Language Reference Guide
