Codabar Characteristics
Codabar is a bar code symbology that offers 16 data characters, including the numeric digits 0-9 and - $ : / . +. There are also
four unique start/stop characters designated A, B, C, and D. Codabar is a discrete code, meaning there is a space
(intercharacter gap) between each character. Characters are constructed of four bars and three spaces.
The American Blood Commission (ABC) adopted a convention for concatenating data from adjacent symbols. This convention,
often referred to as "ABC Codabar," uses a "D" stop character to indicate that data from that symbol should be concatenated
with data from an adjacent symbol with a "D" start character.
In addition to standard Codabar, a CLSI Codabar can be created using a Modulo 10 (CLSI) check digit. CLSI Codabar is a fixed
length (14 digits) numeric code.
