calculated by Zint. In addition EAN-2 and EAN-5 add-on symbols can be

added using the + character. For example, to draw a UPC-A symbol with

the data 72527270270 with an EAN-5 add-on showing the data 12345 use

<P>UPC-E is a zero-compressed version of UPC-A developed for smaller

packages. The code requires a 6 digit article number (digits 0-9).

The check digit is calculated by Zint. EAN-2 and EAN-5 add-on symbols
|
|
|

can be added using the + character as with UPC-A. In addition Zint
|
|
|

<P>One of the most widely used one-dimensional barcode symbologies,

|
|
|
|
Code 128 was developed in 1981 by Computer Identics. This symbology
|
|
|
|
|
|
supports full ASCII text and uses a three-mode system to compress the
|
|
|
|
|
|
data into a smaller symbol. Zint automatically switches between modes
|
|
|
|
|
|
and adds a modulo-103 check digit. Code 128 is the default barcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
symbology used by Zint. In addition Zint supports the encoding of
|
2008-09-03 08:27:56 +12:00
|
|
|
|
Latin-1 (non-English) characters in Code 128 symbols [1]. The Latin-1

|

Application Identifiers (AIs) should be entered using [square
