Codabar

Codabar is a variable length symbology capable of encoding 16 characters within any length message.
Codabar can encode six special characters ("+" (plus), "-" (minus), "$" (dollar sign), "/" (slash), ":"
(colon), and "." (point)) and all numeric digits. There are also 4 start/stop code choices possible when
using the Codabar symbology. These characters (A, B, C, or D) must be included at the beginning or
ending of a string. Codabar symbology for any new applications today should not be considered except
under unusual circumstances because it is limited and out-dated.

Codabar is widely used in library systems and blood banks and for some package transport companies.

Codabar Example (No Check Digit)


Code 11

Code 11 is used primarily in telecommunications. The symbol can encode any length string consisting
of the digits 0-9 and the dash character (-). One or more modulo-11 check digit(s) can be included.
