Bar code descriptor for Dutch Post 4-State bar code
USPS Facing identification marking (FIM)
The only valid characters in this symbology are “A” (ASCII 65), “B” (ASCII 66), “C” (ASCII 67), and
“D” (ASCII 68). These characters in the data produce, respectively, the FIM-A, FIM-B, FIM-C, and
FIM-D patterns in the symbol. 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, no
space is inserted between the FIM patterns generated by the data characters. Invalid characters in
the data are ignored, and do not produce any error message.
FIM symbols are printed according to the USPS specification. Bar height is fixed at 5/8 inch, and
bars and spaces have a fixed width of 1/32 inch. Cursor positioning is handled the same as for
one-dimensional symbologies.

Data will consist of a 6-character postcode (4 digits followed by 2 letters), followed optionally by a
1-5-digit house/postbox/freepost number, followed optionally by an “X” (or “x”) separator character,
followed optionally by a 1-6 character house number extension (letters or digits).
•
