Barcode, It is a method of using lines of different thicknesses to transfer data automatically and accurately to another medium.
Bar code number
The barcode consists of lines of different sizes and the characters of the spaces between these lines.
Why barcode?
With barcode it is possible to display different information such as stock code, serial number, personnel code. Entering this data via a keyboard is time consuming and tiring. This method is not a healthy method. Because it is more likely to make a mistake while transferring data. Product barcode and bar code readers are used to reduce this error rate and time spent. The barcode must not contain a product code or description of the product.
The barcode is usually written on the label by the manufacturer. If you print it yourself, you must also print the barcode yourself.
Print the information you need, place the image of the barcode in the form you need and print it.
How is it best to put the barcode directly on the label?
Many so-called thermal transfer printers already print labels with a barcode written on them, if the corresponding one has been laid down in advance. You just have to stick to the finished label.
Bar codes are used as a general rule to ensure the convenience of identifying someone, as well as transportation and storage. This information is required by both manufacturers and sellers. For consumers, it is in principle useless.
In India, as in most countries in the world, the UPC EAN barcode system is used for coding, where thirteen digits are encrypted. The first 2 of them are the encrypted country code, the next five are the code of the seller or manufacturer, the next 5 digits indicate the product code. And the last digit is responsible for checking the correctness of the scan of the barcode.
Which printer you want to use – dot matrix, inkjet or laser – does not matter. Therefore, if you are just going to buy it, it is better to stick to the matrix – they are cheaper than the rest. If you intend to use it not only for the production of barcodes, but also for other purposes, such as printing color images, you can buy a good inkjet printer.
You have a table where you want to run information from a barcode, such as a ticket. Such a barcode usually contains the flight code, form number and flight number.
1D barcodes
This form of simple coding proved ideal for the automatic processing of products, services and many other applications that needed to be recorded. This was started in the seventies of the twentieth century. It often started in laboratories and hospitals where the unique barcodes allowed things like tubes of blood and medical applications to be categorized much more precisely and available more quickly.
It was not long before the barcode became a broad and universal concept. Supermarkets connected their cash registers to a barcode system, libraries used the barcode for both their members and the books. All kinds of systems where the barcode has ensured that everything went much faster.
Supermarket employees no longer had to learn codes to pay for products and at a parking lot a ticket with a barcode could be enough to drive out.
