<ADDTYPE>

Identifies the type of object to add to the output. An object can be a barcode, text, a TLE, or, in PCL print streams, a macro to call.

Note: Enrichment does not support drawn Industrial 2OF5 barcodes but you can add this type of barcode with a font using <ADDTYPE> TEXT and a barcode font.

Note: POSTNET™ barcode and the PLANET Code^® barcode no longer qualify for USPS automation discounts.

Syntax

<ADDTYPE> type direction


Parameter	Description		Default
`type`	One of the following:
	T[EXT]	Add text or a barcode using a font. Use with all print formats. Note: You must set <ADDTYPE> `type` parameter to `TEXT` if you are going to use the <POSLINE> tag. If you specify a type other than `TEXT` with the <POSLINE> tag, you will receive a severe error.	3OF9
	2[OF5]	Add Interleaved 2OF5 barcodes drawn without a 2OF5 font.
	3[OF9]	Add Code 3OF9 barcodes drawn without a 3OF9 font.
	4[STATE]	Add 4-State barcodes drawn without a font.
	1[28]	Add a Code 128 barcode drawn without a font.
	AU[S]	Add an Australia Post barcode.
	AZ[TEC]	Add Aztec barcodes drawn without a font.
	B[OOKMARK]	Add a bookmark to a PDF page.
	CHINAPOST	Add China Post barcodes drawn without a China Post font.
	D[ATAMATRIX]	Add a DataMatrix barcode drawn without a font.
	DSC	Add DSC comments in the Postscript files.
	E[AN13]	Add EAN13 barcodes drawn without a font.
	F[ORM]	Add the name of an AFP overlay. For use with AFP printers only.
	I[MAGE]	Add the name of an AFP page segment. For use with AFP printers only.
	IMB	Add USPS Intelligent Mail Barcode.
	L[INE]	Draws a horizontal line. This is associated with <DRAWLINE> which defines the width and length of the line.
	[MA]X[ICODE]	Add a MaxiCode barcode.
	N[OP]	Add an NOP (comment) record. For AFPDS and PostScript only.
	OBJ[ECT]	Add an AFP image specified by <EMBEDRESOURCE>
	O[MR]	Add OMR marks drawn without using dashes or underscores.
	PDF417	Add a PDF417 barcode drawn without a font.
	PLANET	Add USPS® PLANET® barcodes drawn without a font.
	P[OSTNET]	Add delivery point (POSTNET™) barcodes drawn without a POSTNET™ font.
	Q[R]	Add QR barcodes drawn without a font.
	M[ACRO]	Tells Enrichment to call this macro at the end of the page. For use with PCL printers only.
	MATRIX25	Add Matrix 2OF5 barcodes drawn without a Matrix 2OF5 font.
	TLE	Enables you to add an index to a print stream by page rather than just by document.
`direction`	One of the following:		FORWARD
	F[ORWARD]	Adds information specified by the <ADDPART> tags from left to right.
	R[EVERSE]	Reverses the order of the characters specified by all of the <ADDPART> tags.
	For example, if a control file contains the following: `<ADDPART> %%TOTAL_PAGES 3 R 0 <ADDPART> %%PAGE_NO 3 R 0 <ADDPART> %%Name 5 N` where `%%TOTAL_PAGES` is 09, `%%PAGE_NO` is 03, and `%%Name` is `BEN`, you could achieve the following results based on the direction value: `<ADDTYPE> type FORWARD` yields `009003BEN` `<ADDTYPE> type REVERSE` yields `NEB300900`

Hints

If you set both the <ADDTYPE> tag direction parameter and the <POSLINE> tag reverse parameter to REVERSE, Enrichment adds information as if you set both values to FORWARD.

Note: For Metacode inputs with <ORIENT> 2 or 3, the default direction for <ADDTYPE> TEXT and barcode HRI is REVERSE so the text will be readable with an inverted font.
