Paxar 9474 manual Bar code Data = 1234ABC5678DEF

Page 85

Here’s why bar code 1 is wider:

The 8 numbers in each example appear in groups of four or more, and they appear in even-numbered quantities, therefore, all 8 numbers will use code C.

The 6 alphabetic characters will use code B.

Look at the example again. This time, data is underlined when the character set changes.

The bar code for data arranged like this:

Bar code 1

Data = 1234ABC5678DEF

is wider than data arranged like this:

Bar code 2

Data = 12345678ABCDEF

This shows that bar code width varies depending on how data is arranged. Separating numeric and alphabetic characters reduces the number of character set changes. Fewer character set changes reduce bar code width.
