The Australian Post 4 State barcode supports a custom section in both the Customer Barcode 2 and Customer Barcode 3 formats.
Member | Value | Description |

BC_BarStates | 0 | Returns the bar states of the custom section. This will be a string of A D F T values, where:
|
BC_NoCustomDecode | 3 | No custom decode type. |
BC_TableC | 2 | The bars in the custom section are decoded using the "C" Table defined by the Australian Post 4 State Barcode specification. This will result in Alphanumeric values for the custom section of the barcode value. |
BC_TableN | 1 | The bars in the custom section are decoded using the "N" Table defined by the Australian Post 4 State Barcode specification. This will result in numeric values for the custom section of the barcode value. |
The default value is BC_BarStates.
The recommended bar encodings in this section is either Table-N or Table-C encoding, but the customer is also free to put their own encoding in this section. The type of encoding, in the custom section, is not stored in the barcode format. The end customer must know the encoding prior to decoding the barcode.
