With the variety of barcode symbologies currently available, how can you be sure that the one you choose will fulfil your requirements? This guide is a basic reference to help you sort through the options. Additional articles will follow soon with more detail about each symbology on its own, and as always, please let us know if you have any questions or input! Linear Barcode Symbologies (1D): Linear Barcode symbologies are likely the ones most people are familiar with. These barcode symbologies are created with parallel black and white bars and spaces of varying sizes and are used to automatically and accurately capture data and reduce human error during entry as they are read by a laser scanner. The scanner reads the barcode from left to right in one dimension which is why linear barcodes are referred to as 1-D barcodes. Some of the common Linear Barcode symbologies you might come across are UPC: Standard barcode for retail environments. Each UPC number relates to one specific retail item. Codes are regulated by www.GS1.org and are only produced as static (non-changing) numbers. Code 39 (or Code 3 of 9): Most common barcode symbology. Codes alphanumeric character set, and is very strong in asset tracking applications requiring sequential data (i.e. 0001, 0002, 0003, etc.). Code 128: Less common than code 39, but still widely used. It is also more compact than code 39, so you can fit more characters in smaller spaces. Interleaved 2 of 5 (or I 2 of 5): Symbology that requires an even number of encoded digits. Only numeric information can be encoded. 2D Barcode Symbologies This second...

News: Datamark UK Recommend Versawipes – To Help Reduce the cost of premature printhead failure and reduce expensive downtime with the industry’s most versatile printhead cleaning wipes. The printhead is the most critical component of your printer and one of the most delicate and expensive. Most print quality problems are a direct result of improper care of the printhead. A consumable that wears over time, much like the brakes on your car, requires proper installation and on-going maintenance to ensure a long life of service for your printer. Printer manufacturers recommend regular cleaning of the printhead to remove any build up of residue caused by label dust, adhesive and dirt in the atmosphere. This build up of residue will, over time, become baked onto the printhead. This will then interfere with heat transfer, causing the heater elements to overheat to the point of failure. Datamark UK recommend the use of Versawipes to keep your thermal print heads, platen rollers and label sensors clean and healthy. With a single product you can keep your thermal printheads in first class condition, whilst maintaining a clean and healthy localised working environment. 100 easy to use wipes in each container for convenient storage right next to your printer. The container allows for easy access to the wipes without any wasteful individual sachets. Unlike other print head cleaners such as ribbon attachments, pens and sachets, Versawipes will enable you to keep all parts of the printer and surrounding print area clean and healthy. A single versatile product for the complete job. For further information on Versawipes then please Click...
