Page 18: Bar Code Symbology Settings
Code 39 is variable length and is the most frequently used symbology in industrial bar code systems today. It is extensively used within the Department of Defense (DOD). The principal feature is to encode messages using the full alphanumeric character set. Standard Code 39 contains only 43 characters (0-9, A-Z, $, /, %, +, -, ., SPACE) and can be extended to a 128 character symbology (full ASCII) by combining one of the special characters (S, /, %, +) with a letter (A-Z) to form the characters that are not present in the standard Code 39 symbology. -
Page 19: Interleaved 2 Of 5 And Code 93
Chapter 5 Interleaved 2 of 5 and Code 93 Settings Interleaved 2 of 5 is a variable length, even numbered, numeric bar code. It is typically used in industrial and master carton labeling and also in the automobile industry. The symbology uses bars to represent the first digit of a pair and the interleaved (white) spaces to represent the second digit of a character pair. -

See page 5 for information on setting the minimum and maximum lengths. -
Page 22: Codabar
Codabar is a variable length symbology capable of encoding six special alphanumeric characters, capital letters A through D, T, N, *, E, and all numeric digits. Codabar is one of the oldest bar code symbologies and is still used in some library applications. It should not be considered for new applications except under unusual circumstances. -
