APPENDIX BARCODES
L025317 Issue 1 March 2011 B-3
BARCODE TYPES SUPPORTED
1-D Barcodes
In the table below, the types of 1-D barcodes supported by Dynamark
3 are
summarised, with the type and number of characters specified for that
barcode type. The term "any" means capital letter and number characters; in
some cases additional characters are defined, but lower case letters are not
permitted. Only Extended Code 39 and the EAN 128 and Code 128 codes
provide symbols for the full ASCII character set.
There are many named barcode types which are actually derivatives of major
types. To avoid the table becoming excessively complex, only generic names
are used, e.g. ISBN, ISSN and JAN coding schemes are all variants of the
EAN scheme. There are several coding schemes (such as DEFCON) which
are actually Code 39, and some countries use Code 128 under other names
for mail tracking (as in the UK).
