A method of printing a string of characters includes receiving a sequence of character data codes. Each character data code corresponds to a respective character to be printed in the string of characters. The method also includes transcoding the sequence of character data codes to generate a sequence of glyph codes. Each glyph code corresponds to a respective glyph. Each glyph corresponds to at least part of a respective character. At least some of the glyphs correspond to less than a complete character. The method further includes using the sequence of glyph codes to generate print image data and printing an image on the basis of the print image data.

A method for printing a postal indicia includes printing a first dot-matrix ink pattern of the postal indicia; and printing a second dot-matrix ink pattern of a portion of the postal indicia in overlapping relationship to the first dot-matrix ink pattern such that a combination of the first and second dot-matrix ink patterns results in a combined dot-matrix pattern of the postal indicia having a first dot density along its length and a second dot density along its height, the first and second dot densities being different from each other but sufficient in combination to permit detection of the combined dot-matrix ink pattern by a facer/canceler machine. An apparatus incorporates the above method.
