• Available characters: Digits from 0 to 9; Capital letters from A to Z; 2 letters + 8 digits + 1 check digit + 2 letters;
• Valid example: EM100027995SE

The GS1-128 is another name for the existing EAN /UCC 128 barcode. GS1 was founded to globalize (and harmonize) various standards.

• Available characters: ASCII digits between position 0 and 128
• Valid example: 123456789
• Possible test methods: Mod 103

GS1 DataBar is used to encode the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) with the Application identifier(AI) "01". The GTIN consists of a packaging indicator (0..9), followed by a 12-digit number (from the EAN-13 article numbering system), followed by a check digit. The check digit at the 14th position is calculated automatically if it is not included in the input data. The height of the symbol should be at least 33X to support omnidirectional scanning (X =module width). VDP Editor automatically prefixes barcode data with AI "01" - so enter your 12-digit number only.

• Available characters: Digits from 0 to 9
• Valid example: 00614141999996

This is a variable length code. It encodes up to 74 numeric or 41 alphabetic digits. Data should be encoded with Application Identifiers (AIs). Omnidirectional scanning is possible.

• Available characters: All upper and lower case letters from A(a) to Z(z); Digits from 0 to 9; + ISO 646
• Valid example: 0061414199999555554444333221
• Possible test methods: Mod 10, EAN-14

This is the stacked version of GS1 DataBar Expanded. The number of data segments per row can vary between 4 and 22. The default number of data segments is 4.

• Available characters: All upper and lower case letters from A(a) to Z(z); Digits from 0 to 9; + ISO 646
• Valid example: ABCabc1234
• Possible test methods: Mod 10, EAN-14

GS1 DataBar Limited is a fixed-length symbology that supports the encoding of Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) starting with "0" or "1". It is used for applications where space is extremely limited and omnidirectional scanning is not required. Due to its compact size, this symbology is mainly used in the healthcare industry.

• Available characters: Digits from 0 to 9

GS1 DataBar Truncated is a GS1 DataBar Omnidirectional symbol reduced to a height of only 13 modules. As a result, this symbology cannot be read exactly omnidirectionally.

• Available characters: Digits from 0 to 9
• Valid example: 0012345678911

The Code 32 number consisting of 9 digits is converted to a corresponding Code 39 barcode with six digits. is preceded by an "A" which is not coded.

• Available characters: Digits from 0 to 9
• Valid example: 012345676
• Possible test methods: None, Mod43, Mod 11, Mod11W7

When using HIBC LIC 128, HIBC primary and secondary data should be encoded in separate symbols, but can be concatenated if space permits. Code 128 is recommended over Code 39 because it is more dense and can be decoded when printed from the side ("ladder" style).

• Available characters: Digits from 0 to 9; Capital letters from A to Z; Special characters like »-«, ».«, »Space«, »$«, »*«, »/«, »+« and »%«
• Valid example: +A99912345/$$52001510X3
• Possible test methods: Mod 43

The HIBC PAS 128 is based on the symbology Code 128. An additional modulo 43 check digit is required.

• Available characters: Digits from 0 to 9; Capital letters from A to Z; Special characters like »-«, ».«, »Space«, »$«, »*«, »/«, »+« and »%«
• Valid example: +/EU9C83416F/Z34H159$
• Possible test methods: Mod 43

When using HIBIC LIC 39, HIBC primary and secondary data should be encoded in separate symbols, but may be concatenated if space permits. Code 39 - Regular (not Full ASCII) format should be used, and the Full ASCII function in the barcode reader must be turned off. The ratio of wide to narrow should be 3:1, and the spacing between digits should correspond to the X dimension.

• Available characters: Digits from 0 to 9; Capital letters from A to Z; Special characters like »-«, ».«, »Space«, »$«, »*«, »/«, »+« und »%«
• Valid example: +A99912345/$$52001510X3
• Possible test methods: Mod 43

HIBC PAS 39 is based on the Code 39 symbology. The data format corresponds to the HIBC PAS format. An additional modulo 43 check digit is required.

The HIBC LIC is used by labelers (manufacturers) of healthcare products for identification purposes. Labelers can encode what is called "primary data" and "secondary data." In short, the primary data identifies the labeler, product code, and unit of measure, while the secondary data is useful to distributors and providers and should be added at the labeler's discretion. The secondary data is optional and is used in conjunction with the primary data elements to encode the quantity and/or expiration date and/or lot number.

This code is used in pharmaceutical fields. This pharma code supports colored bars. The data for the bars/empty digits are coded directly in the property:

• "0" is used for a narrow bar (the width of these bars is increased after a color change, according to the ratio 1C).
• "1" is used for a wide bar (the width of these bars is increased after a color change, corresponding to the ratio 2C)
• "b" is used for a narrow bar
• "c" is used for a wide bar

• Available characters: Digits from 0 to 9; oder binär
• Valid example: 123456
• Possible test methods: None

This pharma code assigns numerical values to the bars. It is used for drug packaging in the pharmaceutical field; for small labels. Normally, the Pharmacode is printed without a human readable text. The dimensions are:

• 2-lane bar width: 1 mm
• space between bars: 1 mm
• bar height top/bottom: 4-6 mm
• height of the long bar: 8-12 mm

It offers high pressure tolerance and is very fast reading (200 readings per second).

• Available characters: Digits from 0 to 9 numerisch und generisch;
• Valid example: 123456
• Possible test methods: None
