Bar Codes

For information on particular bar codes and programming bar code, see the ZPL

Programmers guide for your kiosk printer model. Bar codes have

^B followed by an

alphanumeric character to specify which bar code type is selected. See the ‘Fonts and Bar

Codes’ section in the ZPL Programmers guide for general details about bar codes.

Bar Code Basics

Zebra Technologies is a leader in bar coding print technology and your ZPL kiosk printer

includes the extensive bar code capabilities that come with most Zebra thermal printers.

Bar codes are designed to meet the needs of various industries and tasks. Choose bar

codes based on your clients needs or requirements. Each bar code symbology has

features that will guide your bar code choice: characters accepted (numeric only,

alphanumeric, no special characters, some special characters, double-byte data

encoding, etc.), size of symbol, industry or agency requirement, bar code scanning

equipment compatibility, proximity to other printed receipt design elements, error

correction, etc.

The most common type of bar code is a linear bar code. They are a series bars and

spaces at controlled widths. The simplest encoding methods use a wide bar, narrow bar

and wide space and narrow space set by industry standards. Other variations and

encoding schemes exist.

More complex bar codes are stack able and two dimensional (2-D) bar codes that encode

more data or have error correction for some of the symbols features.
