Help please

[Dean-L]

"Hi, everybody.

I am developing a linear barcode system and I would like more details on linear barcodes such as what amount of data can them store? What type of data? Any other limitations? Any good source will be appreciated.

"

I am guessing you want to develop a barcode generation (not reading) system with encoding data in it, right? For details on the linear barcode types, you can refer to the standard for each linear barcode type, which includes all characteristics such as encoding data type, data length and other specifications.

Re: Research please

 

I agree with Ida_3, it's obvious you didn't do any research at all if you can't even come up with a specific name of a bar code type you want to use.

 

You can check out a list of "Generating Barcode Symbologies" in this the middle of this "Barcode Generation Component for .NET, C#, ASP.NET, VB.NET Projects" page.

 

There is also a Barcode Rendering Framework, which:

..encapsulates the native rendering of barcode symbologies without requiring third-party fonts. The framework makes it easy to define new symbologies and use the resultant images from web or forms applications in a variety of usage scenarios.

The coding project's documentation page has a list of barcode fonts and the accompanying Wikipedia pages which will help you research the amount of data each can store.

As you know little on the barcode, I suggest you find a 3rd party linear barcode generation component for you which can save your time and will be suitable. You needn�t worry some points you may ignore.

Barcodes, especially linear barcodes are hardly new. I was dealing with those several years ago. But I need to make sure which developmental environment you want to use for your system, .NET, Java or others?

I am using Java. Right, I think it�s better for me to use a Java barcode generator with third party help which can save me more. Thanks for your help anyhow and I will try to find a reliable one for my project.
