Codabar

This topic describes how to insert a barcode control of the Codabar symbology (code type) into a report. In addition, it gives a short description of the Codabar code type. To learn more about barcodes in XtraReports see the Barcodes Overview topic.

The Codabar was developed in 1972 by Pitney Bowes, Inc. It is a discrete, self-checking symbology that may encode 16 different characters, plus an additional 4 start/stop characters. This symbology is used by U.S. blood banks, photo labs, and on FedEx air bills.

The following properties should be set to specify a particular barcode of the Codabar type:

• CodabarGenerator.StartStopPair. This property is used to specify the first (start) and last (stop) symbols used to code the Codabar barcode's structure. It should be set to an appropriate value in the CodabarStartStopPair enumeration.
• CodabarGenerator
