The Code 93 bar code structure is shown in Figure 9 and described below.

Figure 9. Code 93Structure

Quiet Zone

Both ends of the bar code structure require blank quiet zones. The qui et

zones must be at least 0.25 inches wide and completely blank to ensure

accurate reading of the start/stop codes and to prevent adjacent bar codes

from overlapping. Be sure to provide sufficient space on the form for the quiet

zones.

Start/Stop Codes

The start/stop codes identify the leading and trailing end of the bar code.

Code 93DataField

The bar code symbol uses a series of varying width bars and spaces to

represent an extensive character set. The bars and spaces vary in width from

one through four modules. Each character consists of three bars and three

spaces that total 11 modules.

Readable Data

The optional readable data field provides a readable interpretation of th e bar

code data. It can be printed above or below the bar code symbol.

Check Digit

Them odulo-103 check digit is automatically calculated and inse rted in the bar

code symbol. The check digit verifies accurate scanning. The star t code is

included in the check digit algorithm.
