Australia Post 4 State Settings
Australia Post 4 State barcodes are specific to Australian postal addresses. Every address in Australia has a numeric Delivery Point IDs (DPID) associated with it. Addresses must first be matched against an official Postal Address File (PAF), to obtain the unique DPID, and the DPIDs must be available to the job as Metadata options.
Use the following options to configure the output Barcode settings:
- Position group:
- Orientation: Use the drop-down to select the orientation of the Barcode added to the page.
- Output once per sheet: Option relates to Imposition (also known as N-Up) printing. Select this box to have the Barcode printed once per sheet rather than once per document page.If Imposition options such as auto-positioning and scaling were selected, these options won't apply to the Additional Content added to the physical N-Up sheet.
- Left: Enter the distance between the left margin of the page and the Barcode, in either metric (cm/mm), inch (in) or point (pt) values.
