An exemplary method comprises checking in at least one area of a surface of the mailpiece whether at least two parallel lines are present in the at least one area of the surface, at least two of the parallel lines being at a distance from each other that corresponds to a module width, at least one of the lines having a width that equals the module width. The exemplary method also comprises detecting modules of a data matrix code, in at least one partial area of the surface that is adjacent to one of the lines, taking into account the detection of the at least two parallel lines, the data matrix code having modules of the module width.
