Barcodes
A barcode (also bar code) is an optical machine-readable representation of data. Originally, bar codes represented data in the widths (lines) and the spacing of parallel lines, and may be referred to as linear or 1D (1 dimensional) barcodes or symbologies. They also come in patterns of squares, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns within images termed2D (2 dimensional) matrix codes or symbologies.
Although 2D systems use symbols other than bars, they are generally referred to as barcodes as well.
Barcode Symbologies
Symbologies are designed to encode numbers,letters, special character control characters, or a combination of any of the three. Two kinds of barcode symbologies exist:
- Discrete: every character in the barcode can be interpreted individually without referencing the rest of the barcode
- Continuous: individual characters in the barcode cannot be interpreted individually.
