This license may be particularly +suitable if your work is TeX-related (such as a LaTeX package), but +it is written in such a way that you can use it even if your work is +unrelated to TeX. + +The section `WHETHER AND HOW TO DISTRIBUTE WORKS UNDER THIS LICENSE', +below, gives instructions, examples, and recommendations for authors +who are considering distributing their works under this license. + +This license gives conditions under which a work may be distributed +and modified, as well as conditions under which modified versions of +that work may be distributed. + +We, the LaTeX3 Project, believe that the conditions below give you +the freedom to make and distribute modified versions of your work +that conform with whatever technical specifications you wish while +maintaining the availability, integrity, and reliability of +that work. If you do not see how to achieve your goal while +meeting these conditions, then read the document `cfgguide.tex' +and `modguide.tex' in the base LaTeX distribution for suggestions. + + +DEFINITIONS +=========== + +In this license document the following terms are used: + + `Work' + Any work being distributed under this License. + + `Derived Work' + Any work that under any applicable law is derived from the Work. + + `Modification' + Any procedure that produces a Derived Work under any applicable + law -- for example, the production of a file containing an + original file associated with the Work or a significant portion of + such a file, either verbatim or with modifications and/or + translated into another language. + + `Modify' + To apply any procedure that produces a Derived Work under any + applicable law. + + `Distribution' + Making copies of the Work available from one person to another, in + whole or in part. Distribution includes (but is not limited to) + making any electronic components of the Work accessible by + file transfer protocols such as FTP or HTTP or by shared file + systems such as Sun's Network File System (NFS). + + `Compiled Work' + A version of the Work that has been processed into a form where it + is directly usable on a computer system. This processing may + include using installation facilities provided by the Work, + transformations of the Work, copying of components of the Work, or + other activities. Note that modification of any installation + facilities provided by the Work constitutes modification of the Work. + + `Current Maintainer' + A person or persons nominated as such within the Work. If there is + no such explicit nomination then it is the `Copyright Holder' under + any applicable law. + + `Base Interpreter' + A program or process that is normally needed for running or + interpreting a part or the whole of the Work. + + A Base Interpreter may depend on external components but these + are not considered part of the Base Interpreter provided that each + external component clearly identifies itself whenever it is used + interactively. Unless explicitly specified when applying the + license to the Work, the only applicable Base Interpreter is a + `LaTeX-Format' or in the case of files belonging to the + `LaTeX-format' a program implementing the `TeX language'. + + + +CONDITIONS ON DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION +=========================================== + +1. Activities other than distribution and/or modification of the Work +are not covered by this license; they are outside its scope. In +particular, the act of running the Work is not restricted and no +requirements are made concerning any offers of support for the Work. + +2. You may distribute a complete, unmodified copy of the Work as you +received it. Distribution of only part of the Work is considered +modification of the Work, and no right to distribute such a Derived +Work may be assumed under the terms of this clause. + +3. You may distribute a Compiled Work that has been generated from a +complete, unmodified copy of the Work as distributed under Clause 2 +above, as long as that Compiled Work is distributed in such a way that +the recipients may install the Compiled Work on their system exactly +as it would have been installed if they generated a Compiled Work +directly from the Work. + +4. If you are the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may, without +restriction, modify the Work, thus creating a Derived Work. You may +also distribute the Derived Work without restriction, including +Compiled Works generated from the Derived Work. Derived Works +distributed in this manner by the Current Maintainer are considered to +be updated versions of the Work. + +5. If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may modify +your copy of the Work, thus creating a Derived Work based on the Work, +and compile this Derived Work, thus creating a Compiled Work based on +the Derived Work. + +6. If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may +distribute a Derived Work provided the following conditions are met +for every component of the Work unless that component clearly states +in the copyright notice that it is exempt from that condition. Only +the Current Maintainer is allowed to add such statements of exemption +to a component of the Work. + + a. If a component of this Derived Work can be a direct replacement + for a component of the Work when that component is used with the + Base Interpreter, then, wherever this component of the Work + identifies itself to the user when used interactively with that + Base Interpreter, the replacement component of this Derived Work + clearly and unambiguously identifies itself as a modified version + of this component to the user when used interactively with that + Base Interpreter. + + b. Every component of the Derived Work contains prominent notices + detailing the nature of the changes to that component, or a + prominent reference to another file that is distributed as part + of the Derived Work and that contains a complete and accurate log + of the changes. + + c. No information in the Derived Work implies that any persons, + including (but not limited to) the authors of the original version + of the Work, provide any support, including (but not limited to) + the reporting and handling of errors, to recipients of the + Derived Work unless those persons have stated explicitly that + they do provide such support for the Derived Work. + + d. You distribute at least one of the following with the Derived Work: + + 1. A complete, unmodified copy of the Work; + if your distribution of a modified component is made by + offering access to copy the modified component from a + designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy + the Work from the same or some similar place meets this + condition, even though third parties are not compelled to + copy the Work along with the modified component; + + 2. Information that is sufficient to obtain a complete, + unmodified copy of the Work. + +7. If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may +distribute a Compiled Work generated from a Derived Work, as long as +the Derived Work is distributed to all recipients of the Compiled +Work, and as long as the conditions of Clause 6, above, are met with +regard to the Derived Work. + +8. The conditions above are not intended to prohibit, and hence do not +apply to, the modification, by any method, of any component so that it +becomes identical to an updated version of that component of the Work as +it is distributed by the Current Maintainer under Clause 4, above. + +9. Distribution of the Work or any Derived Work in an alternative +format, where the Work or that Derived Work (in whole or in part) is +then produced by applying some process to that format, does not relax or +nullify any sections of this license as they pertain to the results of +applying that process. + +10. a. A Derived Work may be distributed under a different license + provided that license itself honors the conditions listed in + Clause 6 above, in regard to the Work, though it does not have + to honor the rest of the conditions in this license. + + b. If a Derived Work is distributed under a different license, that + Derived Work must provide sufficient documentation as part of + itself to allow each recipient of that Derived Work to honor the + restrictions in Clause 6 above, concerning changes from the Work. + +11. This license places no restrictions on works that are unrelated to +the Work, nor does this license place any restrictions on aggregating +such works with the Work by any means. + +12. Nothing in this license is intended to, or may be used to, prevent +complete compliance by all parties with all applicable laws. + + +NO WARRANTY +=========== + +There is no warranty for the Work. Except when otherwise stated in +writing, the Copyright Holder provides the Work `as is', without +warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not +limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a +particular purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and performance +of the Work is with you. Should the Work prove defective, you assume +the cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction. + +In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing +will The Copyright Holder, or any author named in the components of the +Work, or any other party who may distribute and/or modify the Work as +permitted above, be liable to you for damages, including any general, +special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of any use of +the Work or out of inability to use the Work (including, but not limited +to, loss of data, data being rendered inaccurate, or losses sustained by +anyone as a result of any failure of the Work to operate with any other +programs), even if the Copyright Holder or said author or said other +party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. + + +MAINTENANCE OF THE WORK +======================= + +The Work has the status `author-maintained' if the Copyright Holder +explicitly and prominently states near the primary copyright notice in +the Work that the Work can only be maintained by the Copyright Holder +or simply that it is `author-maintained'. + +The Work has the status `maintained' if there is a Current Maintainer +who has indicated in the Work that they are willing to receive error +reports for the Work (for example, by supplying a valid e-mail +address). It is not required for the Current Maintainer to acknowledge +or act upon these error reports. + +The Work changes from status `maintained' to `unmaintained' if there +is no Current Maintainer, or the person stated to be Current +Maintainer of the work cannot be reached through the indicated means +of communication for a period of six months, and there are no other +significant signs of active maintenance. + +You can become the Current Maintainer of the Work by agreement with +any existing Current Maintainer to take over this role. + +If the Work is unmaintained, you can become the Current Maintainer of +the Work through the following steps: + + 1. Make a reasonable attempt to trace the Current Maintainer (and + the Copyright Holder, if the two differ) through the means of + an Internet or similar search. + + 2. If this search is successful, then enquire whether the Work + is still maintained. + + a. If it is being maintained, then ask the Current Maintainer + to update their communication data within one month. + + b. If the search is unsuccessful or no action to resume active + maintenance is taken by the Current Maintainer, then announce + within the pertinent community your intention to take over + maintenance. (If the Work is a LaTeX work, this could be + done, for example, by posting to comp.text.tex.) + + 3a. If the Current Maintainer is reachable and agrees to pass + maintenance of the Work to you, then this takes effect + immediately upon announcement. + + b. If the Current Maintainer is not reachable and the Copyright + Holder agrees that maintenance of the Work be passed to you, + then this takes effect immediately upon announcement. + + 4. If you make an `intention announcement' as described in 2b. above + and after three months your intention is challenged neither by + the Current Maintainer nor by the Copyright Holder nor by other + people, then you may arrange for the Work to be changed so as + to name you as the (new) Current Maintainer. + + 5. If the previously unreachable Current Maintainer becomes + reachable once more within three months of a change completed + under the terms of 3b) or 4), then that Current Maintainer must + become or remain the Current Maintainer upon request provided + they then update their communication data within one month. + +A change in the Current Maintainer does not, of itself, alter the fact +that the Work is distributed under the LPPL license. + +If you become the Current Maintainer of the Work, you should +immediately provide, within the Work, a prominent and unambiguous +statement of your status as Current Maintainer. You should also +announce your new status to the same pertinent community as +in 2b) above. + + +WHETHER AND HOW TO DISTRIBUTE WORKS UNDER THIS LICENSE +====================================================== + +This section contains important instructions, examples, and +recommendations for authors who are considering distributing their +works under this license. These authors are addressed as `you' in +this section. + +Choosing This License or Another License +---------------------------------------- + +If for any part of your work you want or need to use *distribution* +conditions that differ significantly from those in this license, then +do not refer to this license anywhere in your work but, instead, +distribute your work under a different license. You may use the text +of this license as a model for your own license, but your license +should not refer to the LPPL or otherwise give the impression that +your work is distributed under the LPPL. + +The document `modguide.tex' in the base LaTeX distribution explains +the motivation behind the conditions of this license. It explains, +for example, why distributing LaTeX under the GNU General Public +License (GPL) was considered inappropriate. Even if your work is +unrelated to LaTeX, the discussion in `modguide.tex' may still be +relevant, and authors intending to distribute their works under any +license are encouraged to read it. + +A Recommendation on Modification Without Distribution +----------------------------------------------------- + +It is wise never to modify a component of the Work, even for your own +personal use, without also meeting the above conditions for +distributing the modified component. While you might intend that such +modifications will never be distributed, often this will happen by +accident -- you may forget that you have modified that component; or +it may not occur to you when allowing others to access the modified +version that you are thus distributing it and violating the conditions +of this license in ways that could have legal implications and, worse, +cause problems for the community. It is therefore usually in your +best interest to keep your copy of the Work identical with the public +one. Many works provide ways to control the behavior of that work +without altering any of its licensed components. + +How to Use This License +----------------------- + +To use this license, place in each of the components of your work both +an explicit copyright notice including your name and the year the work +was authored and/or last substantially modified. Include also a +statement that the distribution and/or modification of that +component is constrained by the conditions in this license. + +Here is an example of such a notice and statement: + + %% pig.dtx + %% Copyright 2005 M. Y. Name + % + % This work may be distributed and/or modified under the + % conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 + % of this license or (at your option) any later version. + % The latest version of this license is in + % http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt + % and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX + % version 2005/12/01 or later. + % + % This work has the LPPL maintenance status `maintained'. + % + % The Current Maintainer of this work is M. Y. Name. + % + % This work consists of the files pig.dtx and pig.ins + % and the derived file pig.sty. + +Given such a notice and statement in a file, the conditions +given in this license document would apply, with the `Work' referring +to the three files `pig.dtx', `pig.ins', and `pig.sty' (the last being +generated from `pig.dtx' using `pig.ins'), the `Base Interpreter' +referring to any `LaTeX-Format', and both `Copyright Holder' and +`Current Maintainer' referring to the person `M. Y. Name'. + +If you do not want the Maintenance section of LPPL to apply to your +Work, change `maintained' above into `author-maintained'. +However, we recommend that you use `maintained', as the Maintenance +section was added in order to ensure that your Work remains useful to +the community even when you can no longer maintain and support it +yourself. + +Derived Works That Are Not Replacements +--------------------------------------- + +Several clauses of the LPPL specify means to provide reliability and +stability for the user community. They therefore concern themselves +with the case that a Derived Work is intended to be used as a +(compatible or incompatible) replacement of the original Work. If +this is not the case (e.g., if a few lines of code are reused for a +completely different task), then clauses 6b and 6d shall not apply. + + +Important Recommendations +------------------------- + + Defining What Constitutes the Work + + The LPPL requires that distributions of the Work contain all the + files of the Work. It is therefore important that you provide a + way for the licensee to determine which files constitute the Work. + This could, for example, be achieved by explicitly listing all the + files of the Work near the copyright notice of each file or by + using a line such as: + + % This work consists of all files listed in manifest.txt. + + in that place. In the absence of an unequivocal list it might be + impossible for the licensee to determine what is considered by you + to comprise the Work and, in such a case, the licensee would be + entitled to make reasonable conjectures as to which files comprise + the Work. + diff --git a/macros/latex/contrib/makebarcode/doc/latex/makebarcode/makebarcode.pdf b/macros/latex/contrib/makebarcode/doc/latex/makebarcode/makebarcode.pdf new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..bc11e2a2c1 Binary files /dev/null and b/macros/latex/contrib/makebarcode/doc/latex/makebarcode/makebarcode.pdf differ diff --git a/macros/latex/contrib/makebarcode/doc/latex/makebarcode/makebarcode.tex b/macros/latex/contrib/makebarcode/doc/latex/makebarcode/makebarcode.tex new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..98a0faf12a --- /dev/null +++ b/macros/latex/contrib/makebarcode/doc/latex/makebarcode/makebarcode.tex @@ -0,0 +1,318 @@ +%% $Id: zwpagelayout.tex 214 2008-06-26 23:08:07Z zw $ +\input utf8-t1 % encTeX required +\documentclass[11pt]{article} +\usepackage{zwgetfdate} +\usepackage[footskip=30pt,topmargin=2cm,leftmargin=2cm,rightmargin=4cm,botmargin]{zwpagelayout} +\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} +\usepackage{lmodern,array,dcolumn,rotating} +\usepackage[help,H=3mm,S.6]{makebarcode} +\usepackage[protrusion=false,expansion=true,stretch=8,shrink=24,step=4]{microtype} +\makeatletter +\renewcommand*\l@section{\@dottedtocline{1}{\z@}{1.5em}} +\makeatother +\extrarowheight 2pt +\mubytein 0 % important due to bug in url.sty +\usepackage[pdftitle=Bar\ Codes, pdfauthor=Zdenek\ Wagner, + pdfkeywords={bar code, 2/5, Code39, ITF-6, ITF-14, ITF-16}, + bookmarks,bookmarksopen,bookmarksopenlevel=2]{hyperref} +\mubytein 1 \mubyteout 1 \mubytelog 1 + +\marginparwidth\UserRightMargin +\advance\marginparwidth -1cm +\advance\marginparwidth-\marginparsep + +\def\mg#1{\ifvmode\leavevmode\fi\marginpar{\texttt{#1}}\ignorespaces} +\def\cmg#1{\mg{\char`\\#1}} +\def\omg#1{\ifvmode\leavevmode\fi\marginpar{\raggedright\hspace{0pt}\opt{#1}}\ignorespaces} +\def\opt#1{\texorpdfstring{\textmd{\textsc{#1}}}{#1}} +\let\pkg\textsc +\DeclareRobustCommand\cmd[1]{\texttt{\char`\\#1}} +\def\ie.{i.\,e.\@} +\def\eg.{e.\,g.\@} +\def\true{\bool{true}} +\def\false{\bool{false}} +\def\bool#1{\texorpdfstring{\textit{#1}}{#1}} +\def\is{\unskip\nobreak\space =\penalty200 \space\ignorespaces} + +\def\bcd#{\barcode[code=Code39,X=.5mm,ratio=2.25,H=1cm]} + +\let\zwcomma\, +\def\,{\texorpdfstring{\zwcomma}{}} + +\begin{document} + +\clubpenalty 10000 +\widowpenalty 10000 +\raggedbottom + +\title{Bar Codes} +\author{Zdeněk Wagner\\\url{http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz}} +\date{Package date: \DateOfPackage{makebarcode}} +\maketitle + +\begin{abstract}\noindent +The package contains macros for printing various 2/5 bar codes and Code 39 +bar codes. The macros do not use fonts but create the bar codes directly +by vrules. It is therefore possible to vary width to height ratio, ration +of thin and thick bars. The package is therefore convenient for printing +ITF bar codes as well as bar codes for identification labels for HP +storage media. +\end{abstract} + +\tableofcontents + +\section{Introduction} +The development of the package started due to practical need. Bar code labels for HP storage media +are quite expensive. However, the bar codes may easily be produced by \TeX. The documentation +clearly specifies that the bar code is of the Code39 type~[\ref{hpstorage}, \ref{hplabel}]. +It may seem that the task is easy. + +The common denominator of the 2/5 codes and Code39 is that they are formed of thin and thick bars. +The ratio of thin and thick bars may vary as well as the width-to-height ratio. It may therefore be +impossible to use bar code fonts for a particular application. On the other hand a bar code may +simply be created by rules. This approach was inspired by the \texttt{ean13.tex} file developed by +Petr Olšák~[\ref{olsak}]. + +Since the HP documentation does not specify dimensions, it was clear that some experimentation will +be necessary. The macro should thus be general with dimensions controlled by parameters. It is not +much work to make the macro really general with bar codes defined in tables. The same macro can +thus produce several types of barcodes. Moreover, the 2/5 bar codes are simpler and serve therefore +better to debugging and testing the macro during development. + +The structure of the package allows for implementation of other types of the bar codes. Some of +them will be implemented in the next version. + +The bar codes may contain a checksum digit. The macro in this package is able neither to generate +them nor to check them. It is up to the user to specify the full code. + +\section{Usage}\label{usage} +The package is loaded simply by: + +\vb +\verb;\usepackage[;$\langle$options$\rangle$\verb;]{makebarcode}; + +\vb\noindent +The bar code may then be printed by command + +\vb +\verb;\barcode[;$\langle$options$\rangle$\verb;]{;$\langle$code$\rangle$\verb;}; + +\vb +Options that ar not given in the \cmd{barcode} command are taken form those specified for the whole +package or the default values are used. Typically you will specify the most frequently options in +the \cmd{usepackage} command. Notice that the options in the square brackets of both commands are +optional. In the extreme case you may wish to print the bar codes of type Code39, module width +0.5\,mm, ratio of thin and thick bars 2.25 and height 1\,cm. You therefore load the package using + +\vb +\verb;\usepackage[code=Code39,X=.5mm,ratio=2.25,H=1cm]{makebarcode}; + +\vb\noindent +and produce the bar codes simply by + +\vb +\verb;\barcode{MAKEBARCODE.STY};\par +\verb;\barcode{ZDENEK WAGNER}; + +\vb\noindent +These commands will produce the following bar codes: + +\vb +\begin{center} +\bcd{MAKEBARCODE.STY} + +\bcd{ZDENEK WAGNER} +\end{center} + +\section{General Options} +The general options are available both for the \cmd{usepackage} command and for the \cmd{barcode} +macro. They cannot be used with high-level macros \cmd{ITFbarcode} and \cmd{HPlabel}. + +Almost all options have default values and may also be used without specification of a value. This will +reset the option to the default value. It may be useful if you wish to reset the default in the +\cmd{barcode} macro. + +\omg{help} +The \opt{help} option can only be used with the \cmd{usepackage} command. It prints the list of the +supported bar codes to the log file. + +\omg{bcorr} +Some applications require correction of the bar and blank width. The \opt{bcorr} option defines +dimension that is subtracted from each bar and added to each blank. The default value is 0\,mm. + +\section{Low-Level Options}\label{low} +\omg{code} +The \opt{code} option select the type of the bar code. The list of valid values will be given +in later sections. This is the only option that has no default value. + +\omg{X} +Option \opt{X} specifies the module width, \ie. the width of a thin line. Its default value is the +smallest allowed width 0.19\,mm. + +\omg{H} +The \opt{H} option is the width of the bar code. The default value is calculated dynamically as +40~times the module width. + +\omg{ratio} +The \opt{ratio} option defines the ratio of thin and thick bars. The default value is~3. Remember +that some applications require a particular value. + +\omg{K} +The \opt{K} option specifies the width of a bar used in the start/stop characters of the 2/5 Matrix +bar code as a multiple of the width of the thick bar. It must hold $1.5 \leq \mathrm{K} \leq 4$. The +default value is~2. + +\omg{MtoXratio} +The characters in most bar codes start and end with a bar so that they must be separated with w +blank space. The width of the space must be wide at least as the module width but may be larger. +The width of such a space is defined as a ration to the module width by the \opt{MtoXratio} option. +Its default value is~1. It will rarely be changed. + +\section{Family of 2/5 Bar Codes} +The package implements the whole family of 2/5 bar codes. Their list is given in table~\ref{25}. +Remember that the 2/5 Interleaved bar code requires even number of digits. If odd number of digits +is given, zero is prepended. + +\begin{table}[hbt] +\caption{Samples of 2/5 barcodes, encoded sequence is 0123456789, module width 0,19\,mm, ratio~3, +height~3\,mm}\label{25} +\medskip +\begin{center} +\begin{tabular}{|r|l|}\hline +\bfseries Code name & \bfseries Bar code\\\hline +2/5-Industrial & \barcode[code=2/5-Industrial]{0123456789} \\ +2/5-Inverted& \barcode[code=2/5-Inverted]{0123456789}\\ +2/5-IATA& \barcode[code=2/5-IATA]{0123456789}\\ +2/5-Matrix& \barcode[code=2/5-Matrix]{0123456789}\\ +2/5-Datalogic& \barcode[code=2/5-Datalogic]{0123456789}\\ +2/5-Interleaved& \barcode[code=2/5-Interleaved]{0123456789}\\ +\hline +\end{tabular} +\end{center} +\end{table} + +\section{Code39} +The package currently supports only the basic version of the Code39 bar code. The sample is given in +section~\ref{usage}. The full ASCII bar code will be implemented in a later version of the package. + +\section{Labels for HP Storage Media} +\cmg{HPlabel} +The labels for HP storage media are produced by the \cmd{HPlabel} command. Its parametr is the +requested code. The code must contain exactly 8~characters. The syntax is fixed but not verified by +the macro. It is only checked whether the number of charactes is correct. It is required that the +\pkg{rotating} package is loaded manually. Options described in section~\ref{low} cannot be used as +an optional argument and are ignored if given in the \cmd{usepackage} command because all +dimensions are fixed. + +The author of the package gives no warranty that the code produced by this macro will be usable. HP +requires high printing quality saying that laser printers are not good enough for such purpose. +However, bars on the labels bought from HP were grey, not black. As already written the dimensions +are not given in the documentation. The dimensions used here were determined by careful measuring a +bought label. A label printed on an HP laser printer with resolution 600\,dpi was tested on a real +hardware and it worked. + +An example of such a bar code is given in figure~\ref{hp}. The frame +is not a part of the \cmd{HPlabel} macro output but is displayed here in order to show the real +size of the label. + +\begin{figure}[hbt] +\begin{center} +\fboxsep 0mm +\fbox{\HPlabel{CLNU01L1}} +\end{center} +\caption{Example of a label for an HP cleaning casette, code CLNU01L1}\label{hp} +\end{figure} + +\section{ITF-6, ITF-14, And ITF-16 Bar Codes}\label{itf} +\cmg{ITFbarcode} +The ITF bar codes are basically 2/5 Interleaved codes with 6, 14 or 16 digits. The last digit is a +checksum calculated by the same algorithm as for EAN13 bar codes. The macro verifies the number of +digits supplied, not the checksum. The bar code must be printed in a +frame. Sometimes only horizontal lines are sufficient. Human readable information is printed below +the bar code. The author has seen several types of formatting the human readable information on real bar +codes. The one that seemed most reasonable was therefore chosen. + +The bar code is always composed in a \cmd{vbox}. It might be necessary to use \cmd{leavevmode} in +front of the \cmd{ITFbarcode} macro. + +Dimensions of the ITF bar codes are fixed. Options defines in section~\ref{low} are thus ignored, +only the \opt{bcorr} option is allowed. Properties of the ITF bar codes are selected by a special +set of options that can be given either as an optional argument to the \cmd{ITFbarcode} macro or in +the \cmd{usepackage} command. + +\omg{frame} +The \opt{frame} option is boolean, \ie. allowed values are \true\ and \false. The default value is +\true. It requires prining the bar code inside a frame.

The names of these +options are derived from the values of the scaling factors. By choosing the size options the +low-level options \opt{X} and \opt{H} are set to proper values. Option \opt{ratio} is always~2.5 +and \opt{MtoXratio} is~1. Option \opt{code} is \texttt{2/5-Interleaved}. The framed form requires a +blank area in front of and after the bar code (inside the frame). All dimensions are given in +table~\ref{itfdim}. If no size option is given, \opt{S1} is the default. Human readable information +is always typeset with the OCR-B font at 12\,pt. + +\begin{table}[hbt] +\caption{Dimensions of the ITF bar codes (in milimeters)}\label{itfdim} +\medskip +\begin{center} +\newcolumntype{N}{D{.}{.}{3}} +\newcolumntype{M}{D{.}{.}{1}} +\newcommand*\R[1]{\multicolumn{1}{r}{\bfseries #1}} +\newcommand*\RR[1]{\multicolumn{1}{r|}{\bfseries #1}} +\begin{tabular}{|lNNMM|}\hline +\bfseries Option & \R{Scale} & \R{Module} & \R{Blank area} & \RR{Height}\\ \hline +S1.2& 1.2 & 1.219 & 13.1 & 38.2 \\ +S1.1& 1.1 & 1.118 & 12.0 & 35.0 \\ +S1 & 1.0 & 1.016 & 10.9 & 31.8 \\ +S.9 & 0.9 & 0.914 & 9.8 & 28.7 \\ +S.8 & 0.8 & 0.813 & 8.7 & 25.4 \\ +S.7 & 0.7 & 0.711 & 7.1 & 22.3 \\ +S.6 & 0.625& 0.635 & 6.4 & 19.8 \\ +\hline +\end{tabular} +\end{center} +\end{table} + + +\section{License} +The package can be used and distributed according to the LaTeX Project Public License version~1.3 +or later the +text of which can be found at the \texttt{License.txt} file in the \texttt{doc} directory or at +\url{http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt} + +\section{References} +\begin{enumerate}\itemsep 0mm \parsep 0mm +\item Storage Media from HP. \url{http://www.hp.com/go/storagemedia}\label{hpstorage} +\item HP Bar Code Label Packs. +\url{http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/tapestorage/storagemedia/bar\_code\_label.html}\label{hplabel} +\item Petr Olšák: The EAN barcodes by \TeX.
