LINEAR BAR CODES

Introduction

Bar codes allow easy implementation of automated identification, cataloging and processing of almost

any object. They have been successfully used on items ranging in size from boxcars to bumblebees.

This overview of bar code symbologies will help when programming Zebra mobile printers and/or

designing labels with Label Vista software.

If you plan to create software using these bar codes, we recommend ordering the uniform symbology

specification from AIM or the UCC to determine the uses and limitations pertaining to that type of bar

code. The information in this document is in no way complete.

The following discussions contain basic information and some suggested applications for each type of

bar code. The quick reference table in Appendix E lists specific data for each bar code in one location.

All the information on ideal widths and ratios comes directly from the uniform symbology specification.

Please note that all measurements contained in this document are in printer dots. On 200 dot per inch

(d.p.i.) printers, one dot is equal to 0.005” or 0.13 millimeters, on 300 d.p.i. printers one dot is equal to

0.003” or 0.07 millimeters.
