1. OneCode Barcode Introduction
USPS Intelligent Mail Barcode is also known as OneCode
4CB, USPS 4CB, 4-CB, 4-State Customer Barcode, USPS OneCode Solution Barcode
OneCode 4-State Customer Barcode (4-CB) is the next generation in the evolution of USPS barcode technology. It does not replace existing barcodes - it offers a more effective alternative. Partnering with the Mailing Industry, the Postal Service developed the 4-CB which increases the amount of information carried on letter and flats mail pieces and allows for expanded tracking capability, creating greater visibility into the mailstream.

Partnering with the Mailing Industry, the Postal Service developed the 4-CB which increases the amount of information carried on letter and flats mail pieces and allows for expanded tracking capability, creating greater visibility into the mailstream.
4-CB is a height-modulated barcode using four distinct,
vertical bar types. It encodes a 31-digit string into 65 vertical bars each
representing one of four possible states: full bar, ascender, tracker, and
descender.
4-State Barcode Bars
4-CB carries a payload 31 digits comprised of the following
elements.
| Type | Field | Digits |
| Tracking Code | Barcode Identifier | 2 (2nd digit must be 0?) |
| Special Services | 3 | |
| Customer Identifier | 6 | |
| Sequence Number | 9 | |
| Routing Code | Delivery Point ZIP Code | 0, 5, 9, or 11 |
For each of the fields in Table 1, except the Routing Code,
leading or trailing zeros shall be provided to achieve the correct size. Spaces
and nulls are not acceptable characters for padding. For ZIP Codes, which have
one of four lengths, encoding shall provide padding beyond the digits to be
encoded. No error detection and correction, such as a checksum with POSTNET or
PLANET, shall be included as part of the data fields. The OneCode Barcode Data
Fields are described as follows:
- The Barcode Identifier is assigned by USPS for the type of tracking service. This is two digits, with the second digit in the range of 0-4

The length may be 0, 5, 9, or 11 digits. The allowable encoding ranges are no ZIP Code, 00000-99999, 000000000-999999999, and 00000000000-99999999999
