Using Pharmacode

Pharmacode, also known as the pharmaceutical binary code, is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry to represent numeric data. A pharmacode is a one-dimensional barcode that consists of a series of vertical bars with varying widths. It is a type of barcode symbology widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for packaging control, medication identification and tracking purposes. It is a specific implementation of barcode technology designed to encode numerical data.

Pharmacode can be misinterpreted if multiple barcode symbologies are enabled simultaneously. It is advisable to disable all other symbologies when scanning Pharmacode to prevent interference and misreadings.
