tab. 2 – Bar code characteristics
A - 3 of 9
This variable length code without a checksum, in addition to upper case letters, the space and
numbers, also accepts the following characters:
$%*+-./
The nominal ratio may vary from 2:1 to 3:1.
fig. 13 - 3 of 9 bar code
47
When the bar code is identified by the upper case letter, whatever is coded appears beneath it in decoded form; when
the letter is lower case no decoding appears beneath the bar code.
48
If no specific ratio is given for the bar code, the ratio between the horizontal and vertical expansion must be 1:1. This
does not mean, however, that the ratio between narrow and wide bars is 1:1.
49
No decoding is given beneath Postnet, and it is therefore defined only with a lower case letter.
