Formats and permitted characters |
|
GTIN-13, EAN-13, UCC-13, JAN-13 |
Formats: cc|nnnnn|aaaaa (normal EAN13) cc|nnnnn|aaaaa|xx (EAN13 for newspapers, "ISSN") cc|nnnnn|aaaaa|xxxxx (EAN13 for books, "Bookland") ppp|nnnn|aaaaa (normal EAN13) ppp|nnnn|aaaaa|xx (EAN13 for newspapers, "ISSN") ppp|nnnn|aaaaa|xxxxx (EAN13 for books, "Bookland") with cc = country code ppp = product code nnnn, nnnnn = country code aaaaa = article code | = character code chr(124) xx, xxxxx = supplemental code Permitted characters: [0-9] The check digit will be calculated and attached automatically. Each character is 7 bar-widths wide, a code should have a minimum width of (12*7+11)*0.3 mm = 2.85 cm. Ideal size (bar symbol) nominal size SC2: Width: 31.4 mm, Height: 24.5 mm Minimum offset that should be kept free around the symbol: left: 3.6 mm, top: 0.3 mm, right: 2.3 mm, bottom: 0.0 mm The text may partially exceed this area. |
|
EAN-14, UCC-14 |
Format: nnnnnnnnnnnnnn (14 digits) Permitted characters: [0-9] |
|
GTIN-8, EAN-8, UCC-8, JAN-8 |
Formats: nnnnnnn, nn|nnnnn (|= character code chr(124)) Permitted characters: [0-9] Each character is also 7 bar widths wide, a code should then have a minimum width of (8*7+11)*0.3 mm=2.01 cm. Ideal size (bar symbol) nominal size SC2: dx : 22.1 mm, dy: 19.9 mm Minimum offset that should be kept free around the symbol: left: 2.3mm, top: 0.3mm, right: 2.3mm, bottom: 0.0mm (if printed, otherwise 0.3 mm) The text may partially exceed this area. |
|
UPC-A
|
Format: c|nnnnn|aaaaa, cnnnnnaaaaa with c = number system nnnnn = company code aaaaa = article code | = character code chr(124) Permitted characters: [0-9] The check digit will be calculated and attached automatically. Each character is also 7 bar widths wide, a code should then have a minimum width of (13*7+6)*0.3 mm=2.88 cm. |
|
UPC-E
|
Format: c|nnnnnn, nnnnnnn with c = number system |= character code chr(124) nnnnn = code, interpretation depends on the last position Permitted characters: [0-9] The check digit will be calculated and attached automatically. Each character is also 7 bar widths wide, a code should then have a minimum width of (13*7+6)*0.3 mm=2.88 cm |
|
2-of-5 Industrial
|
Format: any Permitted characters: [0-9] A code is (14*number of characters+18) bar widths wide. |
|
2-of-5 Interleaved (ITF) |
Format: any, must have an even number of characters Permitted characters: [0-9] A code is (9*number of characters+9) bar widths wide. |
|
2-of-5 Matrix |
Format: any Permitted characters: [0-9] A code is (10*number of characters+18) bar widths wide. |
|
2-of-5 Datalogic
|
Format: any Permitted characters: [0-9] A code is (10*number of characters+11) bar widths wide. |
|
Codabar |
Format: fnnnnnf Permitted characters: f = frame code [A-D], n = [0-9], [-$:/.+] Every character is either 2*3+6*1 (characters '0'..'9', '-', '$') or 3*3+5*1 (characters ':', '/', '.', '+', 'A'..'D') bar widths wide. The characters for the frame code will not be printed with the text. |
|
CODE11
|
Format: any Permitted characters: [0-9],[-] Code 11 has, depending on the length, 1 or 2 check digits. List & Label calculates only 1 instead of 2 check digits if the length of the text is a maximum of 10 characters. |
|
Code39, 3-of-9, Alpha39 |
Format: any Permitted characters: [A-Z], [0-9], [-./$%+*] |
|
Extended code 39 |
Format: any Permitted characters: any The expanded code can be activated by a combination of the standard code: for example: '+A' -> 'a'. Every character is 16 bar widths wide, a text has (16*number of characters �1) bars. |
|
Code 39 with CRC |
Format: any Permitted characters: [A-Z], [0-9], [-./$%+*] |
|
Code 93 (simple and extended) |
Code 93 is an extension of Code 39 and covers the complete 128 bytes of the ASCII Allowed characters, including NULL. This must be transferred as chr$(255). It contains two check digits that are automatically generated by List & Label. The characters consist of 9 bar widths, that each have 3 bars and 3 spaces. There are two options for the extended code: a) transfer of the shift character from the host program as $ chr$(254) % chr$(253) / chr$(252) + chr$(251) b) transfer of the desired character, L&L adds the appropriate shift character. |
|
Code128 |
Format: any Permitted characters: any Determine the code set that should be used: Use one of the following codes as a start character: chr$(135) � start with code A chr$(136) � start with code B chr$(137) � start with code C In order to switch between different code sets within the barcode, you can use the usual control characters: Starting from code A to B: chr$(132) C: chr$(131) Starting from code B to A: chr$(133) C: chr$(131) Starting from code C A: chr$(133) B: chr$(132) Example: <Subset B> "RL" <Subset C> "04432476" <Subset B> "0DE110" Barcode(Chr$(136)+"RL"+chr$(131)+"04432476"+chr$(132)+"0DE110", "Code 128") |
|
GS1 128, EAN128
|
The special FNC1 character following the start character uniquely defines the EAN128 code. Special characters must be replaced as follows: NUL: chr$ (255) FNC1: chr$ (254) FNC2: chr$ (253) FNC3: chr$ (252) FNC4: chr$ (251) |
