PostSymbology

Enumerates the supported postal barcode symbologies for detection and decoding by the Postcode Reader.

Remarks

The PostSymbology enumeration defines the set of postal barcode types that can be detected and decoded by the Postcode Reader in Grooper. Use this enumeration to configure which postal barcode symbologies are enabled for detection on your documents.

Selecting the appropriate values ensures that only the relevant barcode types are searched for, improving detection speed and accuracy while reducing false positives. This is especially important in mailroom automation, archival processing, and workflows involving a mix of modern and legacy mail pieces.

Usage and Configuration

• Enable only the symbologies present in your documents (e.g., IntelligentMail for modern U.S. mail).
• Enable both IntelligentMail and Postnet for mixed or archival mailroom scenarios.
• Disabling unused symbologies improves performance and reduces the risk of incorrect barcode values.

Impact

• Enabling legacy symbologies (such as Postnet) is useful for processing historical mail, but may not be relevant for current automation requirements.
• Review diagnostic output to verify which symbologies are being detected and to fine-tune your configuration.
