    Class BarcodeWriterEncoding

    Chooses the style of barcode to render as an image using IronBarCode. This enum is related to BarcodeEncoding with the exception that only encodable barcode formats are mentioned. As this Enum is not of the Flags type, only one BarcodeWriterEncoding can be used to generate a barcode, which is logical.

    Aztec

    Aztec 2D barcode format. Aztec Code is a type of 2D barcode invented by Andrew Longacre, Jr. and Robert Hussey in 1995. Named after the resemblance of the central finder pattern to an Aztec pyramid, Aztec code has the potential to use less space than other matrix barcodes because it does not require a surrounding blank "quiet zone".s

    QRCode

    QR Code 2D barcode format. QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed in 1994 for the automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached. A QR code uses four standardized encoding modes (numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary, and kanji) to efficiently store data; extensions may also be used.

    UPCA

    UPC-A 1D format. The Universal Product Code (UPC) is a barcode symbology that is widely used in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, in Europe and other countries for tracking trade items in stores. UPC (technically refers to UPC-A) consists of 12 numeric digits, that are uniquely assigned to each trade item. Along with the related EAN barcode, the UPC is the barcode mainly used for scanning of trade items at the point of sale, per GS1 specifications.

    Please Note: UPCA may only encode numerical (digits) content of length 12 or 13 digits long. Shorter Barcodes will have trailing zeros (000) prepended to the start of the number automatically.

    UPCE

    UPC-E 1D format. To allow the use of UPC barcodes on smaller packages, where a full 12-digit barcode may not fit, a 'zero-suppressed' version of UPC was developed, called UPC-E, in which the number system digit, all trailing zeros in the manufacturer code, and all leading zeros in the product code, are suppressed (omitted).MSI

    Please Note: UPCE may only encode numerical (digits) content of between 8 and more than 13 digits long.
