Elements
Name Description
IBT_AustraliaPost Australia Post (4-State) is a variable-length barcode used by Australia Post. Each barcode comprises 37 to 67 vertical bars of four types. Each bar consists of a central portion (a bar that contains this portion only is also referred to as a tracker/short bar), and may include a top portion (ascending bar), a bottom portion (descending bar), or both (full bar). Each barcode has three fields: a format control code field (2 digits), a sorting code field (8 digits), and a customer information field (up to 10 alphanumeric characters). The customer information field is specified by customers, who can use either their own encoding or an encoding table from the Customer Barcoding Technical Specifications.
IBT_Aztec Aztec is a high density two-dimensional matrix style barcode that can encode up to 3750 characters from the entire 256 byte ASCII character set. The symbol is built on a square grid with a bulls-eye pattern at its center.
IBT_CheckCode39 Check Code 39 is a Code 39 barcode with a check sum.
IBT_CheckInterleaved25 Check Interleaved 2 of 5 is an Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode with a check sum.
IBT_Codabar Codabar is a self-checking, variable length barcode that can encode 16 data characters. It is used primarily for numeric data, but also encodes six special characters. Codabar is useful for encoding dollar and mathematical figures because a decimal point, plus sign, and minus sign can be encoded.
IBT_Code128 Code 128 is an alphanumeric, very high-density, compact, variable length barcode scheme that can encode the full 128 ASCII character set. Each character is represented by three bars and three spaces totaling 11 modules. Each bar or space is one, two, three, or four modules wide with the total number of modules representing bars an even number and the total number of modules representing a space an odd number. Three different start characters are used to select one of three character sets.
IBT_Code32 Check Code 32 is a Code 32 barcode with a check sum.
IBT_Code39 Code 39, also referred to as Code 3 of 9, is an alphanumeric, self-checking, variable length barcode that uses five black bars and four spaces to define a character. Three of the elements are wide and six are narrow.
IBT_Code39WithoutAsterisk

Code 39 without asterisk is a Code 39 barcode, which has no start and stop symbol, the asterisk "*."

Note. In ABBYY FineReader  Serve, barcodes of type Code 39 without asterisk can only be used for document separation, as they are recognized only if the user has explicitly specified their type.

IBT_Code93 Code 93 is a variable length bar code that encodes 47 characters. It is named Code 93 because every character is constructed from nine elements arranged into three bars with their adjacent spaces. Code 93 is a compressed version of Code 39 and was designed to complement Code 39.
IBT_Datamatrix Data Matrix is a two-dimensional matrix barcode consisting of black and white modules arranged in either a square or rectangular pattern. Every Data Matrix is composed of two solid adjacent borders in an "L" shape and two other borders consisting of alternating dark and light modules. Within these borders are rows and columns of cells encoding information. A Data Matrix barcode can store up to 2335 alphanumeric characters.

IBT_Ean8

IBT_Ean13

The European Article Numbering (EAN) system is used for products that require a country origin. This is a fixed-length barcode used to encode either eight or thirteen characters. The first two characters identify the country of origin, the next characters are data characters, and the last character is the checksum.
IBT_FullASCII The Full ASCII Code 39 (Extended Code 39) barcode is a variation of Code-39.
IBT_IATA25 IATA 2 of 5 is a numeric, variable length barcode. It is a barcode standard designed by the IATA (International Air Transport Association). This standard is used for all boarding passes.
IBT_Industrial25 Industrial 2 of 5 is numeric-only barcode that has been in use a long time. Unlike Interleaved 2 of 5, all of the information is encoded in the bars; the spaces are fixed width and are used only to separate the bars. The code is self-checking and does not include a checksum.
IBT_Intelligent Intelligent Mail Barcode (IM barcode) is a barcode that encodes up to 31 digits of information about the route and delivery means of a mail piece. It contains 65 vertical bars of four types, each of which consists of a central portion (a bar that contains this portion only is also referred to as a tracker), and may include a top portion (ascender), a bottom portion (descender) or both (full bar). The 65 bars represent ten 13-bit characters, totaling 130 bits. Each of these characters contains 2, 5, 8 or 11 bits set to one, and the Hamming distance between characters is at least 2. Due to this, single-bit errors in characters can be automatically detected and corrected. The Intelligent Mail Barcode has been adopted by the United States Postal Services.
IBT_Interleaved25 Interleaved 2 of 5 is a variable length (must be a multiple of two), high-density, self-checking, numeric barcode that uses five black bars and five white bars to define a character. Two digits are encoded in every character; one in the black bars and one in the white bars. Two of the black bars and two of the white bars are wide. The other bars are narrow.
IBT_JapanPost Postal: Japan 4-State (aka Japanese Postal Barcode or Kasutama Barcode) is a barcode used by Japan Post. It encodes 7 digits in 21 bars and up to 13 alphanumeric characters in 39 bars. It also includes a checksum and start and stop characters.
IBT_Kix KIX barcode.
IBT_Matrix25 Standard 2 of 5 is self-checking numeric-only barcode. Unlike Interleaved 2 of 5, all of the information is encoded in the bars; the spaces are fixed width and are used only to separate the bars. Matrix 2 of 5 is used primarily for warehouse sorting, photo finishing, and airline ticket marking.
IBT_Patch Patch Code is 1 character long barcode, which does not encode data, but acts as a signal. It is used only for batch separation and scanner control.
IBT_PDF417 PDF417 is a variable length, two-dimensional (2D), stacked symbology that can store up to 1850 printable ASCII characters or 1100 binary characters per symbol. PDF417 is designed with selectable levels of error correction. Its high data capacity can be helpful in applications where a large amount of data must travel with a labeled document or item.
IBT_Postnet The Postnet (Postal Numeric Encoding Technique) is a fixed length symbology (5, 6, 9, or 11 characters) which uses constant bar and space width. Information is encoded by varying the bar height between the two values. Postnet barcodes are placed on the lower right of envelopes or postcards, and are used to expedite the processing of mail with automatic equipment and provide reduced postage rates.
IBT_Qrcode QR Code is a two-dimensional matrix barcode. The barcode has 3 large squares (registration marks) in the corners which define the top of the barcode. The black and white squares in the area between the registration marks are the encoded data and error correction keys. QR Codes can encode over 4000 ASCII characters.
IBT_Royal Royal Mail Barcode (RMS4CC).
IBT_Ucc128 This type of barcode is a 19 digit barcode with a 20th check digit. For a total of 20 digits. It typically is used for carton identification. Both for internal carton numbering and also for using the UCC-128 barcode on your cartons being shipped out to your customers.
IBT_Unknown If this value is specified, the program will use barcodes of all types to separate documents.
IBT_Upca The UPC-A (Universal Product Code) barcode is 12 digits long, including its checksum. Each digit is represented by a seven-bit sequence, encoded by a series of alternating bars and spaces. UPC-A is used for marking products which are sold at retail in the USA. Note that UPC-A codes with 2 or 5 digit supplemental codes appended to them are not supported.
IBT_Upce The UPC-E barcode is a shortened version of UPC-A barcode. It compresses the data characters and the checksum into six characters. This bar code is ideal for small packages because it is the smallest bar code. Note that UPC-E codes with 2 or 5 digit supplemental codes appended to them are not supported.
