Customer Information
There is a free format area available in the Customer Barcodes 2 & 3. This will be decoded using the BC_AustrailianPostCustomDecodeType.
- If the decode mode is "BarStates", then the output will be either bar state "F" full bar, "T" tracker bar, "A" ascending bar, or "D" descending bar.
- If the decode mode is "TableN", then the output will be decoded using the numeric decoding defined in the Australian Post specification.
- If the decode mode is "TableC", then the output will be decoded using the character decoding defined in the Australian Post specification.
- If the decode mode is "NoCustomDecode", then the bars in the custom section are not decoded.
- Use the no custom decode if the decode mode has no custom decode type.
