For professional reasons, I had to become interested in barcodes. Surprise ! There's nothing free on the internet, it seems terribly complicated and we're already considering having to buy a bunch of specific tools. In reality, after reading some scattered documentation, everything becomes very simple. I carried out all my tests with basic equipment: HP laser printer, Canon S600 inkjet printer and DC 200 type barcode scanner (The first price). In the following pages I will provide you with the entire software part... free as usual. !

The code without which mass distribution would perhaps not be so great !
UPC-A and EAN8 are also on this page.


128 code(Also named EAN 128)
A complex code which allows the entire alphabet to be coded in a very dense manner.


2 of 5 interleaved code
A numeric code which is used by the EAN in ITF14 code.


PDF417 code
A two-dimensional code which allows more than 1000 bytes to be encoded.


Datamatrix code
A two-dimensional code which allows more than 2000 characters to be encoded on a very small area.


QR Code
A very popular two-dimensional code from Japan which can encode more than 7000 characters.


OPENBARCODES project
It's a zip file gathering the whole of the downloads available on the pages of the different symbologies (sources whithout installer) but also the encoding functions in a DLL written in C++
