2.32bar codic character setbar codic character setcharacter set that can be represented by a certain type of bar code. 3.1 UPC barcode Universal Product Code GB 12905-91 A barcode developed by the United States Uniform Code Council Example 1: Figure 1 CPC barcode code 012315678905 3.2 EAN barcode European Article Number Bar Code A barcode developed by the International Article Numbering Association. Example 2: 61901234367892 Figure 2 EAN barcode code 6901234567892 3.3 2of5barcode 2of5barcode is a non-continuous barcode with only one bar representing information. The barcode character is composed of five bars arranged in a regular pattern, of which two are wide and the rest are narrow units.
The character set represented: digits 0 to 9.
Example shown in Figure 3:

3.4 ​​Interlaced 2 of 5 barcode A variant of the 2 of 5 barcode. It is a continuous barcode in which both bars and spaces represent information. The tea code characters on the adjacent odd and even positions are respectively represented by five bars and five spaces interlaced.
The character set represented: digits 0 to 9

3. 5 3 of 9 barcode GB12905-91
A non-continuous barcode in which both bars and spaces represent information. The barcode characters are composed of five bars and four spaces arranged regularly, a total of nine units. Among them, there are three wide units, and the rest are narrow units. The character set represented: numbers 0~~9;
letters AZ;
special characters··, space, *, $, /, ten, %. As shown in Figure 5:
