Bar Code Symbologies Supported
The e series printers support these bar code symbologies:
Codabar Originally developed in 1972, Codabar is a numeric symbology most commonly used in libraries, blood banks, and air parcel express applications.
Code 2 of 5 Code 2 of 5 is a straightforward numeric symbology developed in the late 1960s. It has been used for warehouse sorting systems, photofinishing envelope identification, and for tracking sequentially numbered airline tickets. All information is contained in the width of the bars; the spaces do not contain information.
Code 11 Code 11 was developed in early 1977 to satisfy requirements for a very high density, discrete numeric bar code. The most extensive application of Code 11 has been for labeling telecommunications equipment.
Code 39 Code 39 is the first alphanumeric symbology ever developed and is the standard
Code 93 Introduced in 1983, Code 93 was specially designed to complement Code 39. With the correct reading equipment, the two alphanumeric codes may be interchanged throughout a system without making any changes to software.
Code 128 Code 128 was introduced in 1981 as a very high density, alphanumeric symbology. It is a variable length, continuous code that employs multiple element widths.
EAN The European Article Numbering system (abbreviated as EAN) is a numeric superset of UPC. EAN has both a version that uses 8 digits and a version that uses 13 digits. The version with 13 digits encodes the same number of bars as 12 digit UPC Version A, but the 13th digit is encoded into a parity pattern at the left of the center guard bar.
Interleaved 2 of 5 Interleaved 2 of 5 is a high density,
POSTNET The Postal Numeric Encoding Technique (POSTNET) uses binary digits, represented as full bars and half bars, to provide a numeric bar code symbology that is easily read and decoded by optical reading systems. POSTNET provides both error detection and correction capabilities.
