A couple of days ago we've introduced you to the basics of different barcode types, remember? It was all about whether you should opt for a 1D barcode or implement QR codes. So if you've decided to go for 1D barcodes based on our previous post, then this post is absolutely perfect for you! We're going to shed some light on 1D barcodes, all the different barcode types and their different usage scenarios. At the end, you should be able to make an informed decision based on which barcode type suits your needs best.

So, what types of barcodes are available? Fortunately, you don't need to bother at least when it comes to scanning; our powerful Scandit SDK takes care of that itself. But printing barcode labels means deciding which barcode is the right one for you. Commonly used 1D barcodes are:

• EAN-13 and EAN-8

Don't worry about all these abbreviations. In the remainder of this post, we'll go through them, step-by-step explaining what kind of data they hold and how they're commonly used.

EAN-13 and EAN-8
Let's kick off with two barcodes that should look very familiar to you if you live outside the United States. They are found on each consumer product, for example on groceries, DVDs, clothing etc. that are being scanned at a POS (Point-of-Sale).

While EAN-13 (comprising 13 digits) is the default form factor, you'll find EAN-8 (covering 8 digits) barcodes on products where only limited space is available, for example on small chewing gum packages.

UPC-A and UPC-E
The UPC barcodes are very similar to the EAN codes mentioned above. If you have a glimpse at the two examples below, you will notice that they nearly look the same as their EAN counterparts.

Though the most important distinction between UPC and EAN codes is their geographical application. UPC codes are mainly used in the United States. For a little nostalgy, check out this interesting article about the history of the UPC code: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/16/business/16haberman.html

Code128
The Code128 barcode was invented more recently. The number 128 in its name does not refer to the number of digits it can hold but hints at the fact that it can hold any character of the ASCII 128 character set. That includes all digits, character and punctuation marks. This broad range of characters that you can use makes it very powerful as it enables you to store diversified information in the barcode. It is also fairly compact which gives you a good data storage to size ratio.

Barcode Maker Code 39

It is mainly used in logistics for ordering, distribution and transportation. All in all it is geared towards non-POS products.

ITF-14
This symbology is a mix between the POS codes we've presented you at the beginning and the logistics barcode Code128. It's mainly being used in trading as well, but only on products that need no POS interaction. Since it can deal with high printing tolerances, it is a good choice when barcodes need to be printed on corrugated cardboard.

The specifications of this symbology force the usage of a 14-digit number. The more generic 2 out of 5 specification that uses the same symbology encoding is not limited to 14 digits.

Code39
The Code39 (or often referred to as Code 3 of 9) symbology allows the use of digits and characters. Its name originates in the fact that it could only encode 39 characters (in its most recent version the character set has been increased to 43 characters). It is not as compact as the Code128 symbology, but it is still heavily used in the automotive industry and by the US Department of Defense.

That's it – for now. We've introduced you to the most common one-dimensional barcode types. You should now have a general understanding of where, when and how they're being used. When it comes to the decision on which format to use – ask yourself the following questions:

• Will the product be scanned at the point of sale in retail stores? -> UPC, EAN
• Which character set needs to be supported? Alphanumeric characters? ->Code39, Code128
• How much space is available on the product packaging? -> EAN8, UPC-E, Code128 offer small form factors
• Which material will you print the barcode on? -> ITF is great for corrugated cardboard

This of course leads to another question: How do you generate those barcodes? This issue will be addressed in another post, later on. Before this, in the next post of this series, we'll have a closer look at the most important two-dimensional codes and explain when to use each of them.

The ISBN (International Standard Book Number) system is utilized to automate ordering and inventory systems for book publishers, distributors, and retailers. It is also utilized for the monitoring of sales data in the publishing industry. This tutorial will guide you step-by-step through the process of creating an ISBN barcode for a book. The ISBN code created in this tutorial is also identical to the EAN 'Bookland' barcode.

Step 1: Obtain the ISBN Number

Before making an ISBN barcode, the user must first apply for an ISBN number. This number should be 10 or 13 digits, for example, 0-9767736-6-X or 978-0-9767736-6-5. Once the ISBN number is obtained, it should be displayed above the barcode on the book. All books published after January 1, 2007, must display the number in the new 13-digit format, which is referred to as ISBN-13. Older 10 digit numbers may be converted to 13 digits with the free ISBN conversion tool.

The last digit of the ISBN number is always a MOD 11 checksum character, represented as numbers 0 through 10. When the check character is equal to 10, the Roman numeral X is used to keep the same amount of digits in the number. Therefore, the ISBN of 0-9767736-6-X is actually 0-9767736-6 with a check digit of 10. The ISBN check digit is never encoded in the barcode.

Step 2: Products Needed to Generate ISBN Barcode

To make an ISBN barcode as required by the ISBN, products are needed to generate an EAN13 barcode and the OCR-A representation of the ISBN number, which appears above the EAN13 barcode. In this tutorial, the Barcode Image Generator and OCR Font Package are used to create the barcode and can be purchased together in a specially priced ISBN Barcode Package.

In some cases, it may be more desirable to create ISBN barcodes with IDAutomation's UPC/EAN Font Package. If dynamic barcodes or additional automation is necessary, IDAutomation offers many barcode font tools, components and stand-alone applications for this purpose. When printing multiple ISBN labels that are applied to an existing book, IDAutomation's Barcode Label Software may be the best product to use.

Step 3: Create an ISBN Barcode Image for the Book

The ISBN-13 barcode that appears below the ISBN number is created by encoding an EAN13 barcode type directly with the first 12 digits of the ISBN-13 number as shown in Fig 1. The ISBN-10 barcode is formed by appending the first 9 digits of the ISBN number to 978*.

For example, an ISBN number of 0-9767736-6-X would be encoded in EAN-13 as 978097677366. After agencies run out of numbers allocated to the 978 prefix, they will begin using EAN13 barcodes preceded by 979.

When the ISBN number is encoded in the EAN-13 barcode, it is often called a Bookland barcode. A Supplemental 5-digit add-on barcode is optional and can contain the price of the book or periodical. The price is encoded by appending a 4-digit number to the currency number – use 0 for the British Pound and 5 for the U.S. Dollar. For example, if the book sells for 10.50 in USD, encode 51050 in the 5-digit add-on. A supplemental code of 90000 indicates that the book has no suggested retail price. Supplemental numbers in the range 90001 to 98999 may be used by publishers for internal purposes. Complimentary copies of books are marked 99991. The National Association of College Stores uses 99990 to mark used books.

The step-by-step process to create an ISBN barcode is as follows:

1. Install the OCR Font Package.
2. After the OCR fonts are installed, install the Barcode Image Generator.
3. Open the Image Generator. In the Barcode Properties tab, enter the first 12 digits of the ISBN number and the number 5 plus the price of the book. The last digit of the ISBN number is a check digit; which is not encoded in the barcode.
   For example: 97809767736651050
   Choose 1.80 for the Bar Height and .050 for the X dimension.
   Choose EAN13 for the Symbology.
   
4. In the Text & Color Properties tab, click the set button for the Human Readable Text Font and choose IDAutomationOCRb at 9 points:
   
5. In the Caption Properties tab, click the set button for the Upper Caption Font and choose IDAutomationOCRa at 9 points:
   
6. In the Upper Caption text box on the Caption Properties tab, enter the assigned ISBN number (with dashes) preceded with the text 'ISBN'. While this tutorial implements a 10-digit ISBN number, all books published after January 1, 2007 should display the ISBN in the new 13 digit format. Existing 10-digit numbers may be converted with the Free ISBN Conversion Tool. When using a 13-digit number, the upper caption would be ISBN 978-0-9767736-6-5.
   
7. In the Image Properties tab, choose the resolution of the image (if unsure, select 300) and select Bitmap for the image type.
8. Choose Generate Image File and save the image to the hard drive. This image is now ready to be imported and placed in the book's graphics or printed as a label. If it is desired to create multiple ISBN labels, this same process may be used with IDAutomation's Barcode Label Software.
   

Reading and Testing Barcodes

When the EAN-13 barcode of the ISBN is read, the data scanned should equal the numbers printed below the barcode on the book. For example, the barcode generated in Fig 1 would scan as 9780976773665.

A common method of reading and testing barcodes is with a hand-held barcode scanner. Most of the barcode scanners recommended by IDAutomation perform keyboard emulation and receive power from the USB port, so that no external power supply is required. When a barcode is scanned using keyboard emulation, the data read appears at the cursor as if it had been typed in from the keyboard. Most barcode scanners have the ability to read ISBN and Bookland barcodes by default, such as the hand-held IDAutomation USB Barcode Scanner.
