What is Barcode? A barcode is an optical machine readable

representation of data, which includes products information and attached on products. Barcode includes bars with varying widths and spaces between bars and contains number called barcode value.

Basic Structure or Barcode


5

Types of Barcodes

Barcode is optical machine readable code whichcontains a group of thick and thin lines called

bars. There are two types of barcodesLinear barcodes2D barcodes

Linear Barcodes

A first generation, "one dimensional" barcode that includes

Lines and spaces of various widths that create specificpatterns. Linear Barcode encodes data in 1D. Linear

barcodeincluded single row of black and white bars. Data is

encodedin width and space between bars not the length.

Types of linear barcodeUPC- UPC is Universal Product Code used in U.S and Canada for retail andwarehousing industry product identification. UPC is fixed length of twelve digitincluding numbers. Types- UPC-A, UPC-EEAN- EAN is European Article Numbering code developed in North America . It

wasdeveloped as a supermarket of UPC. It is 1D code which is used for product of

retailindustry. It includes 13 or 8 digit number. It includes extra digit on start of every

UPCnumber. Types- EAN-8, EAN-13Codabar- Codabar was developed by Pitney Bowes in 1972. This type of barcode isdiscrete, self checking symbology. It encodes 16 different characters and 4 start/

stopcharacters. Types- Coad-11, Code-39, Code 128

2D BarcodesSecond Generation, Two dimensional barcodesthat stores information in both X-Y axis meanshorizontally and vertically. It is also called

matrixcode represent information in two dimensionalway. It stores more data per unit area.


12

Types of 2D BarcodesAztec code- Aztec is a matrix symbology which supports the entire ASCII character setand offers several error checking modes. Aztec symbols are square and may be read atany orientation.

Data Matrix Code- DataMatrix is a two dimensional matrix symbology. Which includes finder pattern.Double digits – maximum capacity 3100 digitsAlphanumeric text – maximum capacity 2300 characters*Byte values – maximum capacity 1550 bytes

QR-Code- QR Code is a matrix symbology containing of a square array of modules witha finder pattern located at three corners. A wide range of symbol sizes is supportedalong with four levels of error correction, and the symbology is noted for its high datadensity.

How to Generate Barcodes?To design product labels we need a user friendly application for generatingbarcodes.DRPU Barcode Label Maker Software facilitates users to create product

labelswith different text font symbologies like linear and 2d. This software

providessimplified way to design multiple price tags of various shape and size.


15

Multi Features of Barcode Software Design and print barcode labels using Linear and 2D font Print multiple barcode images on single paper Use line, text, picture, arc, circle to create custom barcode images Support batch process series feature to create barcode list in

sequential, random, constant manner Save designed barcode images in different image formats like jpg,

jpeg, gif, tiff, , png etc Provide option to create new or edit in existing barcode image Facilitates to add picture, text, signature, header and footer on

labels Allow to customized bar density and length Support inbuilt email setting to send generated barcode images Provide an option to change background setting, color setting


16

How to print Barcode Labels?First design your product labels using DRPU BarcodeLabel Maker Software and then attach a good qualityprinter to pc or laptop device. Print barcode labels bygiving print command and designed barcode labels areprinted.DRPU Barcode Software is compatible with all printerswhich are available in market.

Advantages of BarcodeRepresent product uniquely for identificationError free data entryManage products effectivelyReal time data collectionAccurate dispatchSave time and reduce manual data input


21

Application of BarcodeHealth care industry- ensure accurate

dosage and treatment.Library and publishing industry-

manage books and logging borrowersRetail Sector- Speed up checkouts and

ordering, control business inventory.Bank and Post office- Recording

trabsactions without error.Travel- speed up checkout, making tickets,

ensure safety
