Explanation:

 

"Length" - is the data length, it is the number of characters, which can the barcode can encode; "var" means the variable length.

"Check symbols" - possible number of check digits; "A" means that number of check digits can be chosen automatically.

"Checksum algorithm" - the algorithm for calculating check digits. The information is provided for general information only.

"0-9", "A-Z", "a-z" - ranges of symbols; + means that the barcode can encode characters of this range.

"other symbols" - this column indicates other characters that can be encoded by the barcode, and which are not included in the previous three ranges.

 

Barcode Sizes

Below is a comparison of barcodes of variable length, which can encode the numbers from 0 to 9. All barcodes have the same input data - the row of numbers "0123456789» ("ABCDEFGHIJK"), and the same module 20, other parameters set by default.

 

 

 

The image shows: if you need to select a barcode with the minimum size, then when encoding only numbers, 2of5Interleaved and Code128 barcodes are more suitable.

 

 

Coding English Uppercase Letters

Below is a comparison of the barcodes of variable length which can encode uppercase English letters. All barcodes have the same input data - the row has "ABCDEFGHIJK", and the same module 20, other parameters set by default. The image shows: if you need to select a barcode with the minimum size, then when encoding numbers and capital English letters, Code 93 and Code128a / Code128b barcodes are more suitable.

 

 

Coding English Lowercase Letters

Below is a comparison of the barcodes of variable length, which can encode lowercase English letters. All barcodes have the same input data - the row has "abcdefghijk", and the same module 20, other parameters set by default.

 

 

The image shows: if you need to select a barcode with the minimum size, then when encoding numbers and upper and lower English letters, the Code128b barcode is more suitable.
