RE: will any scanner read reversed barcode?

If you flip the piece 180 degrees, is the barcode correct, or is it still
reversed?

If you should have |..|....|

And you got |''''|''|, then that's simply 180 degrees rotated.  I would
_assume_ that the scanner can deal with that, since the piece could be
oriented any way on the machinery.

If you actually have |''|''''| I might think that would be more of a
problem...

So instead of |..|....|

You have

|''''|''|

?

Your best bet might be to print a couple and run to the post office for a
road test.  If you print 10000 of these and they come back... ouch.

The alternative would be to leave the postnet off and pay the additional
freight for not having postnet.  More money, slower delivery perhaps, but no
risk of it bouncing.
