Royal Mail 4-State (CBC)
Royal Mail 4-State (CBC) is one of the types of barcodes that can be added to a template; see
"Barcode" on page618.
In PlanetPress Connect versions prior to 2019.2 this barcode was called "Royal Mail 4 State
(RM4SCC)".
The barcode can be added either using the Barcode toolbar button or through selecting Insert
> Barcode on the menu; see "Adding a Barcode" on page619.
Initially the barcode will have the barcode type's default properties. To change those properties,
such as the scale and color, open the Barcode properties dialog: right-click the barcode (on the
Design tab in the Workspace) and select the Barcode... option in the context menu.
Note that this type of barcode doesn't process tilde characters (~) in the data as special
characters.
