TEC-IT Barcode Software Reference
► Symbol size and Bearer Bars are depending on printing method and scanning environment
– for details please follow the GS1 specification.
► When using vertical Bearer Bars, they must have at least a distance of 10 modules to the
bar code. This is why you have to adjust a minimum of 12 modules for the quiet zone to see
a vertical Bearer Bar in TEC-IT Software.

This code is used by the Japanese Postal system. You can encode 7 digits followed by block and
street number (uppercase alphanumeric). The special compaction mode of Japanese characters
can be enabled on demand (Format parameter “J”) – see below.
This barcode symbology supports two methods to provide the barcode data (with and without data–
extraction from the Japanese Address B Field).
6.1.55.1 Direct Encoding Mode
Description Value
Format Property “” (default=empty)
Postal code 2730102 (no hyphen ‘-‘)
Address B 3-20-5B604
Barcode text Postal code + Address B (no space between)
Barcode text 27301023-20-5B604
Encoded data in the symbol 27301023-20-5B604
6.1.55.2 Japanese Extraction Mode
Description Value
Format Property ”J” (= Enable Japanese Compaction)
Postal code 273-0102 (can contain ‘-‘)
Address B
Barcode text Postal code + Address B
Barcode text 273-0102
Encoded data in the symbol 27301023-20-5B604 (after compaction)
Encoding SHIFT JIS (CP932)
► In TBarCode DLL you have two possibilities:
- Provide the data in UNICODE with BCSetTextW(..) and use BCSetCodepage (Shift JIS) 1 .
- Provide the data in Shift JIS with BCSetTextA(..) and use BCSetEncodingMode (LowByte).
► In TBarCode OCX and TBarCode .NET you set CodePage = Japanese Shift JIS.
1 Shift JIS will be the default code page for Japanese Postal in TBarCode SDK 10.2.6 and later.
