Implementing solutions with our fonts provides a high level of scalability with operating system, application and printer independence.
These fonts may be difficult to use without our Font Tools because of the different character sets and required check digits. Therefore, if you cannot utilize our Font Tools and you are confused by the font data sheet, we recommend you consider the Image Generator or our Barcode Label Software. We also have barcode components that may be an easier implementation in applications such as Microsoft® Access or Visual Basic because they automatically calculate the checksum and format the barcode.
UPC, UCC, EAN, JAN, ISBN and Bookland barcodes can all be created from our UPC/EAN Font Advantage Package with the exception of EAN-14, UCC-128 and EAN-128; these are created with the Code 128 Barcode Fonts. The primary purpose for these barcodes is to uniquely identify a product and manufacturer for retail checkout and tracking purposes. Below is a summary of the different bar code standards:
UPC - The Universal Product Code (UPC) barcode has been used in the retail industry in the US and Canada since 1973. UPC-A consists of 12 numbers and UPC-E consists of 12 numbers that are compressed into 8 numbers for small packages.
UCC - The Universal Code Council creates standards for multi-industry product identification. UCC12 is another name for the UPC-A standard.
EAN - The European Article Numbering System (EAN) is a superset of U.P.C. EAN-13 consists of 13 numbers and EAN-8 consists of 8 digits for small packages.
ISBN and Bookland - The EAN-13 barcode for a book or periodical is generated from the ISBN number assigned to it. When encoding ISBN in an EAN-13 barcode, the ISBN number is preceded by the number 978 and the ISBN check digit is not used. When the ISBN number is encoded in the EAN-13 barcode in this way it is often called Bookland. A 5 digit add-on barcode is optional and can contain the price of the book or periodical.
JAN - the JAN codes are the same as the EAN codes, except the first two characters are set to 49.
Add-on Barcodes - an additional barcode can be created just to the right of the symbol to encode additional information. These barcodes are either 2 or 5 digits in length. Our fonts support the add-on barcodes.
EAN14 is a barcode type created with ITF or Code 128 and is not included in this package.
UCC128 or EAN128 is a barcode type created with Code 128 and is not included in this package.
