Note: Keep in mind that not all characters have the same “width”. There are instances where the to/from address is cut off, even though the address fits within the character requirements. If there are too many characters in the field, an error will display. In these instances, abbreviate the field wherever possible.

Here are some suggestions for abbreviations:

N – North

S – South

E – East

W – West

Rd – Road

St – Street

Ln – Lane

Ct – Court

Ste – Suite

Apt – Apartment

PO – Post Office (PO Box)
