POSTNET

	POSTNET POSTNET (Postal Numeric Encoding Technique) is a barcode symbology used by the United States Postal Service to assist in directing mail. The ZIP Code or ZIP+4 code is encoded in half- and full-height bars. Most often, the delivery point is added, usually being the last two digits of the address or PO box number. The barcode starts and ends with a full bar (often called a guard rail or frame bar and represented as the letter "S" in one version of the USPS TrueType Font) and has a check digit after the ZIP, ZIP+4, or delivery point. The encoding table is shown on the right. Each individual digit is represented by a set of five bars, two of which are full bars (i.e. two-out-of-five code). The full bars represent "on" bits in a pseudo-binary code in which the places represent, from left to right: 7, 4, 2, 1, and 0. (Though in this scheme, zero is encoded as 11 in decimal, or in POSTNET "binary" as 11000.) Encoding The following table shows the encoding for decimal digits: ...

	Two-out-of-five Code A two-out-of-five code is a constant-weight code that provides exactly ten possible combinations of two bits, and is thus used for representing the decimal digits using five bits. Each bit is assigned a weight, such that the set bits sum to the desired value, with an exception for zero. According to Federal Standard 1037C: * each decimal digit is represented by a binary numeral consisting of five bits of which two are of one kind, called ''ones'', and three are of the other kind, called ''zeros'', and * the usual weights assigned to the bit positions are 0-1-2-3-6. However, in this scheme, zero is encoded as binary ''01100''; strictly speaking the 0-1-2-3-6 previously claimed is just a mnemonic device. The weights give a unique encoding for most digits, but allow two encodings for 3: 0+3 or 10010 and 1+2 or 01100. The former is used to encode the digit 3, and the latter is used to represent the otherwise unrepresentable zero. The IBM 7070, IBM 7072, and IBM 7074 computers ...
