What is a barcode symbology?
A barcode symbology is the particular system of encoding data (system of bars and spaces between the bars) so that a barcode reader (scanner) can read and decode the data encoded in the barcode. A good technical description of many symbologies is found at the following URL: http://www.barcodeisland.com/symbolgy.phtml Code39 is the default barcode symbology we use at Neuton Data Systems – unless another one is specified.
