Defense Department CODE 128: Code 128 standardized tags are high thickness 1D codes which can use any character in the ASCII 128 character set. This wide scope of characters empowers the capacity of differentiated data and diverse information. Mostly used in logistics for orders, transportation and distribution, Code 128 tags are compact, giving a decent information stockpiling to size proportion. It can encode each of the 128 characters of ASCII CODE 93: Code 93 is a barcode symbology developed in 1982 by Intermec to deliver a higher density and data security to Code 39. Code 93 is used mostly by Canada Post to encode supplementary delivery information. It holds an alpha numeric variable length symbols into it. Code 93 is developed …show more content…

It is a discrete, self-checking, symbology that can encode the numbers 0 through 9, the begin/stop characters A, B, C, D, E, *, N or T. MSI PLESSEY: MSI Plessey (or Modified Plessey) was produced by the MSI Data Corporation to serve as a evolution of the first barcode, which was made in the early 1970s. The first Plessey scanner tag was produced for the library business, however today the MSI Plessey code is commonly utilized for stock administration as a part of retail situations. It is very common to see this codes in super Markets. ENCODING PROCESS: The sample determined with the common the barcode code 128: The Code 128 is encoded with strips of contrast bars. The table shows and it utilizes a binary system to represent the encoding for example: 0 for the spaces and 1 for single width bar The checksum is incorporated into the bar code, and is a digit that confirms that the information simply read in was right. The checksum digit depends on a modulo 103 computation based on the weighted sum values of each of the digits in the message that is being encoded, including the start/Begin character. The steps to compute the check digit is described …show more content…

Take the start character value (103, 104, or 105) and make the beginning/starting value of the running checksum. 2. Following the start character with the first data character, take the value of the character (between 0 and 102, inclusive) multiply it by its position of character (1) and add it to the running checksum. 3. Take further character in the message, taking the value, and multiply by its character location, and add the total to the checksum consecutively. 4. Divide the total final checksum by 103. The remainder yielded will be the checksum digit which is then added at the end of the message. Every character in Code 128 is encoded using 11 modules, but not for the stop code, which is encoded in 13 modules. The following table show the encoding schema for Code 128: The stop code is the bar-and-space grouping that flags the end of the standardized bar code. Let’s explain the string "EMP" how it can be embodied at the physical layer in a bar code. From the above table, the string "EMP" can be encoded in Code 128 Subset A in the following manner shown below. START A = 11010000100 M = 45 = 10111011000 S = 51 = 11011101000 A = 33 =
