Understanding Barcodes System: Inventory Control Management

In this document, you will learn how many types of barcodes and how to design and scan

barcode labels. Many manufacturing and other industries have work that must go through

several steps to completion. Barcode systems can track material through each step of the work

and keep detailed records on each piece or batch. When a problem occurs in the output,

supervisors and managers can track the work back and quickly resolve the issue. This is one of

the best ways to improve both quality and yield in virtually any multi-step process.

Inventory Control: Tracking inventory manually is a laborious process. With barcodes applied to

each item in inventory, portable scanners can be used to track shipping and receiving and

quickly take physical inventory. The data from portable scanners can be uploaded to a central

computer system at regular intervals or portables can update inventory in real-time, depending

on the system you choose. Barcode inventory control provides accurate, real-time inventory

updates. This allows a company the opportunity to reduce stock levels and thereby reduce

carrying costs. It also reduces the time taken to collect data for purposes such as annual

inventories. With improved efficiency, operating costs are lower.

What is a Bar Code?

A barcode is an optical machine readable representation of data relating to the object to which

it is attached. Originally barcodes systematically represented data by varying the widths and

spacing of parallel lines, and may be referred to as linear or one-dimensional (1D). Later they

evolved into rectangles, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns in two dimensions (2D).

Barcode a machine readable code in the form of numbers and a pattern of parallel lines of

varying widths, printed on a commodity and used especially for stock control.

How many types of Barcodes?

Barcode are mainly two types such as linear barcode and two dimensional barcode.

Linear barcodes: A barcode that encode data in one dimension. In this data encoded in the

width of bars and spaces, no data encoded in the length of bar. The most common UPC and

EAN barcode symbol found on many retail products are linear barcodes. To identify the start

and end of barcode, a special guard paten is used to indicate the scanner that the barcode start

and also identify what type of symbology used. Some linear barcode symbology also add check

digit at end of data. This check digit is used to verify that interpreted data has been read

correctly.

Linear Barcode fonts: Coda bar, Code 11, Code 128, Code 128 SET A, Code 128 SET B, Code 128

SET C, Code 39, Code 93, Code 39 Full ASCII, EAN13, EAN8, Industrial 2 of 5, Interleaved 2 of 5,

ISBN 13, ITF-14, LOGMARS, MSI Plessey, Planet, Postnet, Standard 2 of 5, Tele pen, UCC/EAN-

128, UPCA, UPCE, USPS Sack Label, USPS Tray Label, USS-93.

2D barcode labels: A Barcode that encode data in 2 dimensions including horizontally as well

as vertically. 2d barcode has ability to hold more information in lesser place. These barcode are

smaller and denser. 2d barcode also called quick response barcode because they enable fast

data access. 2d barcode can often used with conjunction of mobile phone. They are easily read

by phone camera equipped with barcode reader.

2D barcode fonts: Aztec, Data bar, Data bar Code 128, Data bar Code 128 Set A, Data bar Code

128 Set B, Data bar Code 128 Set C, Data bar Expanded, Data bar Limited, Data bar Stacked,

Data bar Stacked Omni, Data bar Truncated, Data bar EAN 13, Data bar EAN 8, Data bar

MicroPDF417, Data bar PDF417, Data bar UPCA, Data bar UPCE, Data Matrix, Maxi Code,

PDF417, QR Code, MICR Font

How to design and print barcode labels using DRPU Barcode Software?

BarcodeFor.US Software generates 2D and Linear barcode labels for all private and government

organizations. Software design and print barcode labels in different types of image file formats

like JPEG, Bitmap, GIF, TIFF, PNG and JPG. Barcode Utility create list of barcode labels using

sequential, random and constant value series. Tool facilitates to send designed barcode label

image at specified email address.

Different types of A4 barcode sheets are available at market for printing barcode labels. Choose

correct barcode sheets for your barcode labels. Software works all types of barcode sheets and

paper rolls.

We have used “Designing view” mode of DRPU Software to generate customized barcode

labels. We have highlighted how to design Linear and 2D barcodes on same labels through

software screenshots. Design Linear UPCE and 2D DataMatrix Barcodes on same label using

DRPU Barcode Maker. Software support batch processing option to create multiple barcode

labels with different header, footer and barcode value text.

Select 2D Barcode DataMatrix font and enter barcode value text. Write barcode header and

footer text. Change font, size and color settings of barcode labels as per your requirements.

Software design colorful barcode labels for labeling on your business products. We have

highlighted the process of designing barcode labels through red circles in the picture. Barcode

Tool creates barcode labels in different types of shapes like circle, triangle, ellipse, rectangle

and rounded rectangle.

Change “Printing Settings” of barcode sheets as per your requirements. Select “Manual” print

mode option and printer. Modify vertical and horizontal margins (margins between labels) of

barcode A4 sheets. Enter total numbers of barcode labels value and printed sheets copies. Click

on “Print” button for printing barcode labels using Laser Printer.

Your barcode labels are printed using Laser printer. Software works all types of printers like

Thermal, Laser and Inkjet printer. We have highlighted the complete procedure of designing

and printing barcode labels through the pictures.

Your barcode labels are ready for labeling on your business products. During a shopping

excursion to a shopping mall, you would have noticed the cashier scanning your products using

some Laser device to produce a bill. What actually he is doing that he is reading the product

barcodes using a Laser/Barcode scanner. Barcode scanner reads the code, data is sent to the

computer, and computer looks up into the database for the price and description of the item.
