Australia Post 4-State

A two-digit Format Control Code opens the payload and says what follows it: 11 for a sorting code alone, 59 and 62 for a sorting code with customer information, 00 for the reply paid form, which is only valid with a zero sorting code. Eight digits of sorting code come next, then the customer information the FCC allows.

Capacity is counted in bars. The N table spends 2 bars on a digit and the C table 3 on an alphanumeric character, so FCC 59 holds 8 digits or 5 characters, and FCC 62 holds 15 or 10.

Type Token

Extra Parameters

Appended to the type token after commas, as in AUSPOST,N.
