N/A The only valid characters in this symbology are A (ASCII 65), B (ASCII 66), C (ASCII 67), and D (ASCII 68).

A single character of data producing one of the four defined FIM patterns is the expected use of this symbology. If more than one character of data is provided, then no space is inserted between the FIM patterns generated by the data characters. Invalid characters are ignored, and do not produce any error message. FIM symbols are printed according to the USPS specifications. Bar height is fixed at 5/8 inch. Bars and spaces have a fixed width of 1/32 inch. Cursor positioning is handled similarly as one‑dimensional symbologies.
