The Bookland barcode encodes the ISBN number in EAN-13 format followed by a 5 digit
supplemental code. The barcode data always consists of the digits
„978‟ (the EAN article identifier),
followed by a 9 digit number and one check digit. You can use the EAN-13 with 5 digits add-on for
encoding. The 5 digit add-on barcode is used to encode the book price. For more information refer
to section 6.1.46

This code was invented 1972 by Monarch Marking Systems for retail purposes. 1977 the American
Blood Commission defined Codabar 2 as standard symbology for blood banks (=ABC Codabar).
The characters “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” are useable as start or stop characters only. The barcode uses 2
element-widths and 4 different start/stop-characters (A, B, C, D). These start/stop characters can be
utilized for additional information
– e.g. "B1234B". The print ratio should be in the following range:
1:2 -1:3 (Pr >= 2,25:1) . Since the symbology is “self-checking” there is no established check sum
method.
The symbology is also known as Code 2 of 7, NW-7, ABC Codabar, USD-4, Monarch, Code-27,
Ames code or Rationalized Codabar.
The “rationalized version” uses 2 different element widths in spite of the original symbology, which
used 18 different element widths (Standard Codabar).
► Use the format property to determine the Start and Stop characters (see section 9.3).
► FedEx is using a special variant of the Codabar barcode. The format of the encoded number
is as follows: XXXX-XXXX-XXXY with a 4-digit ID at the end. The first 12 digits contain the
tracking number. The barcode starts w
ith „C“ (start-character) and ends with „D“ (stop-
character).
