Barcode Standards/Symbologies
Symbologies are systems of encoding data such that a scanner and/or a decoding system may together read and decode the data encoded in the barcode. Aside from the actual technique of encoding the bars and spaces a number of technical specifications or characteristics define and separate one Symbology from another.

Barcode Professional supports many of the most popular Linear (1D), Postal and 2D Symbologies.
