Encoded data does not look the same as the USPS encoded data


I am using your Intelligent Mail Font Package and encoding the data but notice that it does not look the same as the USPS encoded data: 1938485767089338509412345

and the encoded data appears as: qrprsqqrqqsspspqrqprpsrpqpppssrqspprpqrqqspspqpsqqssqqqr
rrppspsqq

and what I am expecting:

IDAutomation Intelligent Mail Barcode fonts can be applied to both examples to produce the same barcode. The USPS uses uppercase letters for encoding while IDAutomation font encoders use lowercase letters. The lowercase letters are used to provide complete compatibility with the IDAutomation Universal Barcode Font, which can also generate Intelligent Mail Barcodes.


Intelligent Mail barcodes may be produced from IDAutomation's fonts and font encoder tools, as well as other encoders, such as the encoders provided by the US Postal Service. To accommodate both types of encoding, each 4-State symbol element is placed at two character locations within the Postnet font according to the following table:
