Printing Intelligent Bar codes

[Bob Rasmussen]

This is probably something I should pay attention to. I assume you're 
talking about Intelligent Mail barcode, right?

You reference "$1b (3254X" to print the barcode. That seems to be missing 
a trailing "5", compared to "$1b *c32545D". Is that the problem in 
production, or just an error in the email?
