UPC (Universal Product Code) was designed to uniquely identify a product and
its manufacturer. It has been successfully employed by the supermarket
industry since 1973.
UPC is a continuous, edgeĆtoĆedge symbology. UPC A encodes 12 numerics:
11 message characters and one check character. The first message character
is called the number system digit, and it indicates the product type. The next
five characters identify the manufacturer of the product, while the last five
message characters identify the product.
Default = On.
UPC A codes having one or more zeros in the manufacturer ID, and having a
number system digit of zero can use UPC E0, which encodes a limited number
of product ID's in only seven numerics: six message characters and one check
character.
Default = On.
