If you look carefully, the automatic sorters only put bar codes on mail that has the address typed or printed (rather than handwritten).V0 In order to get the bar code on your very own outgoing mail then, I believe that you have to type the address on the envelope and make sure that the ZIP code is in the bottom-right corner (relative to all other text on the envelope). Since I don't work for the postal service, I can't guarantee the accuracy of this info, but it is seemingly-reliable hearsay! Apologies for carrying on a somewhat irrelevant issue in TELECOM...
