Bar code types

Special syntax for two-
dimensional bar codes
6-22
Kodak Capture Pro Software supports the following bar code types:
• Airline 2 of 5
• Barcode 32
• CODABAR
• Code 128
• Code 2 of 5 — mutually exclusive with Interleaved 2 of 5
• Code 3 of 9
• Code 39 (no stop start)
• Code 39 Extended
• Code 39 HIBC
• Code 93
• Data Matrix
• EAN 13
• EAN 8
• Interleaved of 2 of 5 — mutually exclusive with Code 2 of 5
• MSI
• MSIPH
• PDF417 — a high-density, two-dimensional bar code type that can contain
up to 1250 bytes of information in a few square inches. With this kind of
density, all index data for a document can be contained in a single bar code.
• Planet (US Post Office Code)
• PostNet (Postal): cannot be selected with any other bar code type.
• UCC Code 128
• UPC-A
• UPC-E
When using two-dimensional bar codes, a single bar code can be used to
contain all the index data for a document or batch. To facilitate indexing with
two-dimensional bar codes, a special substring syntax has been added:
<barcode.zonename:[start;length]>
<barcode.zonename:[start;end]>
<barcode.zonename:[# of data elements, delimiter (in single quotes)]>
The delimiter can either be the actual character symbol or its ASCII decimal
numeric value (for symbols that cannot be printed or typed). The delimiter must
be contained in double quotes (" ").
For example, if a PDF417 bar code contains the following data:
12345678*NURSERY*11/19/1962 the following could be used as default
values for the three index fields of data:
Default Value
<BC.PDF417:[1, '*']>
Returns the 1st element of the bar code string delimited by an asterisk.
<BC.PDF417:[2, '42']>
Returns the 2nd element of the bar code string delimited by an asterisk
(42 is the ASCII decimal value for asterisk).
<BC.PDF417:[3, '*']>
Returns the 3rd element of the bar code string delimited by an asterisk.
Actual Value
12345678
