Barcodes

Every barcode contains data made up of a sequence of light spaces and dark bars that represent letters, numbers, or other graphic characters. -
The usable characters differ among the various kinds of bar codes. Each barcode section in the ZPL Commands provides a table of applicable characters. Start and stop characters and check digits are used by many, but not all, barcodes. These will be indicated in the specific barcode explanations.
Zebra printers can print the following kinds of barcodes:
