CODABAR AND UPC-A SETTINGS
Codabar is a variable length symbology capable of encoding six special alphanumeric characters, capital letters A through D, T, N, *, E,
and all numeric digits. Codabar is one of the oldest barcode symbologies and is still used in some library applications. It should not be
considered for new applications except under unusual circumstances.
See page 8 for information on setting the minimum and maximum lengths.

UPC-A (Universal Product Code-A) is fixed length and is the most common UPC barcode for retail product labeling. It is seen in most
grocery stores across the United States. The symbology encodes a 12-digit number. The first six digits are assigned from the Uniform
Code Council (UCC). The next five digits are assigned by the manufacturer, and the final digit is a modulo 10 check digit. The nominal
height for the UPC-A barcode is one inch. The reduced size is 80% of the nominal size.
