Aztec Code

An Aztec code is so named because of the finder code in the center, which somewhat resembles the aerial view of an Aztec pyramid. The Aztec is a 2D matrix code, typically used for airline tickets and other travel documents, as well as car registration documents. It can also be used in hospitals for patient identification, or to identify medication, samples, or other items related to a particular patient. Aztec Code is a barcode type invented by Andrew Longacre, Jr. and Robert Hussey in 1995. It is a 2-D symbology that encodes data in square rings around a bulls-eye pattern […]

Guidelines for using QR Code

A two-dimensional code is actually a two-color rectangular matrix distributed on a plane (i.e. two-dimensional direction) with specific geometric figures according to a certain rule. The new generation of barcode technology that records data symbol information looks like a two-color square. maze. It is different from common barcodes (ie one-dimensional codes). In terms of information expression, the two-dimensional code can express different information in both horizontal and vertical directions at the same time, so the amount of information that can be stored is dozens of times that of a barcode, and it can integrate images, sounds, text and other information; […]

Codabar

Codabar was originally developed in the early 1970s for use in retail price-labeling systems. However, after the National Retail Merchants Association (NRMA) selected another symbology as their standard in 1975, Codabar was promoted for use in a variety of non-retail applications such as libraries, shipping, photo finishing, and the medical industry. Because Codabar is not as versatile or reliable as other symbologies, the trend since the 1980s has been to move away from Codabar and toward the other symbologies. Codabar barcodes are used by logistics and healthcare professionals, including U.S. blood banks, FedEx, photo labs and libraries. Their main benefit is that they’re easy to print and can […]
