Types of Barcodes

Types of Barcodes: "Barcode Symbologies and Label Standards
A Barcode Symbology defines the technical details of a particular type of barcode: the width of the bars, character set, method of encoding, checksum specifications, etc. Most users are more interested in the general capabilities of a particular symbology (how much and what kind of data can it hold, what are its common uses, etc) than in the excruciating technical details.
The first three sections below provide information about specific types of barcodes (including just a bit of the technical details). The fourth section provides information about industry standards and conventions for the use of barcodes."
