Code 93 is a barcode symbology designed in 1982 by Intermec to provide a higher density and data security enhancement to Code 39. It is an alphanumeric, variable length symbology. Code 93 is used primarily by Canada Post to encode supplementary delivery information. Every symbol includes two check characters.
Code 39 (also known as Alpha39, Code 3 of 9, Code 3/9, Type 39, USS Code 39, or USD-3) is a variable length, discrete barcode symbology defined in ISO/IEC 16388:2007. The Code 39 specification defines 43 characters, consisting of uppercase letters (A through Z), numeric digits (0 through 9) and a number of special characters ...
The characters are divided into three groups, based on the number of wide elements: The basic 12 symbols (digits 0–9, dash, and $) are encoded using all possible combinations of one wide bar and one wide space. An additional 4 symbols (:/.+) are encoded using 3 wide bars and no wide spaces.
A Swiss postal barcode encoding "RI 476 394 652 CH" in Code 128 (B & C) Code 128 is a high-density linear barcode symbology defined in ISO/IEC 15417:2007. [1] It is used for alphanumeric or numeric-only barcodes. It can encode all 128 characters of ASCII and, by use of an extension symbol (FNC4), the Latin-1 characters defined in ISO/IEC 8859-1.
Codablock symbologies [16] [17] has been developed as a stacked version of Code 39 and Code 128 barcodes and has some advantages of 2D barcodes. They allow to utilize rectangular space more effectively then 1D barcode and have additional checking characters to ensure the content of the overall message.
Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF) is a continuous two-width barcode symbology encoding digits. It is used commercially on 135 film, for ITF-14 barcodes, and on cartons of some products, while the products inside are labeled with UPC or EAN. ITF was created by David Allais, who also invented barcodes Code 39, Code 11, Code 93, and Code 49.
PDF417 is a stacked barcode that can be read with a simple linear scan being swept over the symbol. [4] Those linear scans need the left and right columns with the start and stop code words. Additionally, the scan needs to know what row it is scanning, so each row of the symbol must also encode its row number.
The most common use for Extended Channel Interpretation is to allow usually unsupported national character sets such as Arabic, Greek, or Japanese to be used reliably in bar code symbols. [1] An ECI-enabled bar code symbol may use several character sets by embedding several character set ECI indicators to delimit segments of the message that ...
