Barcode Fonts - Self Checking  The following barcodes are self-checking. They do not require calculations for check digits because the checking technology is coded into each barcode character making them very easy to use. If you are not a programmer, we recommend you use one of these barcode fonts for your application if possible.

• Code 39 - an alpha-numeric barcode, sometimes referred to as the 3 of 9 Code and LOGMARS Code.
• Codabar - a numeric barcode encoding numbers with a slightly higher density than Code 39.
• Industrial 2 of 5, Code 2 of 5 non-interleaved - an older numeric barcode encoding numbers only.
• EZ Barcode Font Package for Windows - includes Code 39 and Codabar self-checking TrueType barcode fonts for Windows in a single package.

Barcode Fonts Requiring Check Digits The following are high-density barcodes that are not self-checking and therefore require check characters to be calculated and appended to the end of the data string. All are supplied with easy to understand methods and examples of calculating the check character.

• Code 11 - high density numeric barcode used mostly in labelling telecommunications components.
• Code 128 - alpha-numeric barcode with three character sets. Our Code 128 barcode fonts allow you to print characters for Code 128, UCC-128, EAN-128, SSCC-18 and SCC-14 specifications.
• Code 93 - similar to Code 39 but requires two check characters.
• EAN - the European Article Numbering System (EAN) is used in the retail industry.
• Interleaved 2 of 5 - The Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode symbology is a numeric only barcode used for interleaving pairs of numbers in a high density barcode format.
• MSI Plessey - the MSI Plessey barcode was designed by the Plessey Company in England and has been used primarily in libraries and retail applications such as grocery store shelves.
• PDF417 - a multi-row bar code capable of encoding several hundred characters.

PDF417, DataMatrix and Other 2D Barcode Font Products PDF417 and other two dimensional barcodes such has Data Matrix allow encoding of more data in a smaller area. These barcodes usually require a barcode imager to read the data.

• PDF417 Fonts - allow encoding of several hundred characters into a symbol that can be shaped to fit just about anywhere and it has high error correction capability.
• Data Matrix Fonts - allow encoding of several characters into a square barcode with error correction.
• MaxiCode Fonts - allow encoding of about 100 characters and include mail routing information such as country codes and zip codes. This 2D barcode is used mainly by UPS to route and track packages.
