Notes:

 

 

 

 

* When m = 1, human readable flag is always ignored, and its character is not printed. In case of "Post-Net", this value only affects bar-width and does not affect bar-pitch.

When m = 1, the barcode prints by 1/360 or 1/240 full dot method. For all other values, the barcode prints by half dot method. Module width values are nominal values.
