For example, a bar pitch value of 20 is used for any bar pitch that is less than 20. A bar pitch value of 24 is used for any bar pitch that is greater than 24. The default value is 22. USPS Zebra code The USPS Zebra code is a series of diagonal or vertical bars placed to the right of a USPS tray label bar code to identify trays containing bar‑coded mail. Each line must be 0.250 inch to 0.375 inch (6.35 mm to 9.52 mm) high, 0.125 inch to 0.250 inch (3.18 mm to 6.35 mm) wide. Separate these lines with blank spaces equal in size to the line widths. The only valid characters in this symbology are "/" (ASCII 47) and "|" (ASCII 124). Spaces between bars are automatically inserted. The base of each successive bar is printed beginning 1 space width from the right end of the base of the previous bar. The widths of the bars and spaces for this symbology are fixed. As for a diagonal bar, the width of the bar refers to the width of its base. An invalid character in the data produces a blank space in the symbol equal to 2 space widths, and does not produce an error message. An invalid character can follow a valid character. The blank space begins 1 space width from the right end of the base of the bar produced by the valid character.

Specifying bar pitch for USPS POSTNET
For typefaces 24770, 24771, and 24771, the
s1
parameter specifies the bar pitch in bars per inch. For example,
a bar pitch value of 20 is used for any bar pitch that is less than 20. A bar pitch value of 24 is used for any bar
pitch that is greater than 24.
The default value is 22.
USPS Zebra code
The USPS Zebra code is a series of diagonal or vertical bars placed to the right of a USPS tray label bar code
to identify trays containing bar
‑
coded mail. Each line must be 0.250 inch to 0.375 inch (6.35 mm to 9.52 mm)
high, 0.125 inch to 0.250 inch (3.18 mm to 6.35 mm) wide. Separate these lines with blank spaces equal in size
to the line widths.
The only valid characters in this symbology are "
/
" (ASCII 47) and "
|
" (ASCII 124). Spaces between bars are
automatically inserted. The base of each successive bar is printed beginning 1 space width from the right end
of the base of the previous bar. The widths of the bars and spaces for this symbology are fixed. As for a diagonal
bar, the width of the bar refers to the width of its base.
An invalid character in the data produces a blank space in the symbol equal to 2 space widths, and does not
produce an error message. An invalid character can follow a valid character. The blank space begins 1 space
width from the right end of the base of the bar produced by the valid character.
