Code 39 is represented in this package +both in form of a native font (Metafont-source) and in form of +\TeX{}-macros. code 39 features low-density alphanumeric encoding. + +Here you may see how HELLO looks like in code 39 (the start and stop +sign is mapped to @, if you're curious, so in the source to this sheet +I have written {\tt@HELLO@} after having selected the proper +font). This first example uses the font. + +{\xlix@HELLO@} + +Another approach is to use \TeX{} macros to make up bars. Here is the +same HELLO with macros: + +\begincodethirtynine{HELLO}\endcodethirtynine + +Interleaved two-of-five (ITF for short) features high-density +numerical-only encoding. Your code has to have an even number of +digits. The start sign is mapped to $+$, the end sign to $-$. +So, to code 0123456789, you type {\tt+0123456789-}, and the result +looks like this: + +{\itf+0123456789-} + +If you still have not got enough of barcoding, here is codabar. Here +you got four sets of start/stop signs that get decoded together with +the numbers. The start/stop sign pairs are a/t, b/n, c/*, and d/e. So +{\tt a12345t} looks like this:\bigskip + +{\cdb a12345t} + +Now you should have a look at code 128. The bars itself look sometimes +disrupted; this is due to the fact that the widest elements are four +times as wide as the narrowest. Code 128 enables you to code any 7-bit +ascii character. With digits only, it is as efficent as itf. The bad +news is the preprocessing required, so you have to read the docs. The +following bars mean {\tt Hallo123456}\bigskip + +\CXXVIII 6828414C4C4F630C2238506A@@ % Code128(Hallo123456) + +And, last and perhaps most important, the EAN font. Read {\tt +eandoc.tex} to find out how these are coded, here is just the output +of the example code mentioned there: +\embed{2500000000000} + +\line{ +\EAN{4 +AcFHaa-KKLKNK+} % or, without checksum: %(4025700001030) +\hfil +\EAN{4 +AcFHaa-KKLKNK+} %(402570000103) +} +\line{ +\EAN{2 +FAaaAa-KKLMNT+} % embedded(123) +\hfil +\EAN{9 +HiaCaB-LNOOSN+} % ISBN(0201134489) +} + +And that's all. Perhaps you may think that this is not a beautiful +document---but barcodes aren't beautiful. As long as reading devices +do not have \ae{}sthetic feelings, I don't regard this as a problem. +\bye +\endinput +%% +%% End of file `examples.tex'. |
