      • Recipient ID Starting Position: The position in the ID string where the system will start reading the numbers. For example, if the ID number is 00012345678000, and you want it to ignore the 3 leading zeroes, then you would set this to 4.
      • Recipient ID String Length: The length of the ID string that you want the system to read, starting from the starting position indicated above. For example, if the ID number is 00012345678000, and you want it to stop reading after the 8 (only reading the non-zero digits), then you would set this to 8.
