The Tracking Number Formats window contains tracking number formats
in bar code form for a carrier. The windows displays:

The total bar code character length contained within the package bar
code is displayed in the Length field.

The starting character position for the tracking number within the pack-
age bar code is displayed in the Start field.

age bar code is displayed in the End field.

Based upon the starting character position and the ending character posi-
tion, the Package Track batch portable application will ignore any charac-
ters outside the starting character and ending character positions in the
scanned package bar code. It uses this valid character range to record the
package tracking number for this package record.
