FAQ

What is an IMb?

The Intelligent Mail barcode is the USPS barcode that encodes routing and tracking data on mailpieces.

Does this check full USPS compliance?

This tool decodes and validates structure; full USPS IMb compliance — its constant-weight symbol coding and 11-bit CRC (FCS), not Reed-Solomon — is part of the dedicated USPS module.
