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.

Fields

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

DataMatrix

Data Matrix 2D barcode format. An example of a Data Matrix code, encoding the text: "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" A Data Matrix is a two-dimensional barcode consisting of black and white "cells" or modules arranged in either a square or rectangular pattern, also known as a matrix. The information to be encoded can be text or numeric data. Usual data size is from a few bytes up to 1556 bytes.

EAN13

EAN-13 1D format. The International Article Number (also known as European Article Number or EAN) is a standard describing a barcode symbology and numbering system used in global trade to identify a specific retail product type, in a specific packaging configuration, from a specific manufacturer.Titf

Please Note: EAN-13 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.

Declaration

public const BarcodeWriterEncoding EAN13

Field Value

Type	Description
BarcodeWriterEncoding

EAN8

EAN-8 1D barcode format. An EAN-8 is an EAN/UPC symbology barcode and is derived from the longer International Article Number (EAN-13) code.

Please Note: EAN-8 may only encode numerical (digits) content of length 7 or 8 digits long. Shorter Barcodes will have trailing zeros (000) prepended to the start of the number automatically.

Declaration

public const BarcodeWriterEncoding EAN8

ITF

ITF (Interleaved Two of Five) 1D format. ITF-14 is the GS1 implementation of an Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF) bar code to encode a Global Trade Item Number. ITF-14 symbols are generally used on packaging levels of a product, such as a case box of 24 cans of soup. The ITF-14 will always encode 14 digits.s

Please Note: ITF encodes numerical data only. If the number if digits is not even, a '0' will automatically be prepended.

PDF417

PDF417 format. PDF417 is a stacked linear barcode symbol format used in a variety of applications, primarily transport, identification cards, and inventory management. PDF stands for Portable Data File. The 417 signifies that each pattern in the code consists of 4 bars and spaces, and that each pattern is 17 units long. The PDF417 symbology was invented by Dr. Ynjiun P. Wang at Symbol Technologies in 1991. (Wang 1993) It is ISO standard 15438.

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.

Declaration

public const BarcodeWriterEncoding QRCode

BarcodeWriterEncoding

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.

Declaration

public const BarcodeWriterEncoding UPCA

Field Value

Type	Description
BarcodeWriterEncoding

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.
