Understanding Linear UPC-A Code Barcodes: Design UPCA Barcode Labels
Linear UPC-A Barcode Labels: UPC-A barcode consists of a scannable strip of black bars and white spaces, above a sequence of 12 numerical digits. No letters, characters, or other content of any kind may appear on a standard UPC-A barcode. The digits and bars maintain a one-to-one correspondence in other words, there is only one way to represent each 12-digit number visually, and there is only one way to represent each visual barcode numerically.
Formatting of UPC-A Code Barcodes: UPC-A barcodes can be printed at various densities to accommodate a variety of printing and scanning processes. The significant dimensional parameter is called x-dimension, the ideal width of single module element. A single x-dimension must be used uniformly within a given UPC-A barcode. The width of each bar and space is determined by multiplying the x-dimension by the module width of each bar or space (1, 2, 3, or 4 units). Visually, a grouping of two or more adjacent bars appear as a single wide bar, while a grouping of two or more adjacent spaces appear as a single wide space. Since the guard bars each include two bars, and each of the 12 digits of the UPC-A barcode consists of two (wide) bars and two (wide) spaces, all UPC-A barcodes consist of exactly (3 × 2) + (12 × 2) = 30 (wide) bars, of which 24 represent numerical digits and 6 represent guard bars. The x-dimension for the UPC-A at the nominal size is 0.33 mm (0.013 in.). Nominal symbol height for UPC-A is 25.9 mm (1.02 in.). In UPC-A the dark bars forming the Start, Middle, and End guard bars are extended downwards by 5 times x-dimension, with a resulting nominal symbol of height of 27.55 mm (1.08 in.) This also applies to the bars of the first and the last symbol characters of UPC-A symbol. UPC-A can be reduced or magnified anywhere from 80% to 200%. A quiet zone, with a width of at least 9 times the x-dimension, must be present on each side of the scannable area of the UPC-A barcode.[2] UPC-E requires 9 X-dimension units on the left side and 7 on the right.[3] For a GTIN-12 number encoded in a UPC-A barcode symbol, the first and last digits are always placed outside the symbol to indicate the quiet zones that are necessary for barcode scanners to work properly. BarcodeFor.US Software generates barcode labels for different businesses in few simple steps. Barcode Utility creates colorful industrial barcode labels in multiple shapes including circle, triangle, ellipse, rectangle and rounded rectangle. Different types of A4 barcode sheets and paper rolls are available at market for printing barcode labels. Software works all types of barcode sheets and media. Choose correct barcode paper rolls for your barcode labels. Barcode Generator design barcode labels and save in different image file formats such as JPEG, TIFF, GIF, JPG, PNG and Bitmap. .
