Code 93 is used primarily by Canada Post to encode supplementary delivery information. Every symbol includes two check characters.
Datamatrix	128		A Data Matrix code is a two-dimensional matrix barcode consisting of black and white "cells" or modules arranged in either a square or rectangular pattern. The information to be encoded can be text or numeric data. Usual data size is from a few bytes up to 1556 bytes
Ean13	256		An EAN-13 barcode (originally European Article Number, but now renamed International Article Number even though the abbreviation EAN has been retained) is a 13 digit (12 data and 1 check) barcoding standard which is a superset of the original 12-digit Universal Product Code (UPC) system developed in 1970 by George J. Laurer. The EAN-13 barcode is defined by the standards organization GS1.
Ean8	512		An EAN-8 is a barcode and is derived from the longer European Article Number (EAN-13) code. It was introduced for use on small packages where an EAN-13 barcode would be too large.
I2of5	1024		Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF, from Interleaved Two of Five) is a continuous two-width barcode symbology encoding digits. It is used commercially on 135 film, for ITF-14 barcodes, and on cartons of some products, while the products inside are labeled with UPC or EAN.
IntelligentMail	2048		The Intelligent Mail Barcode (IM barcode) is a 65-bar code for use on mail in the United States. The term “Intelligent Mail” refers to services offered by the United States Postal Service for domestic mail delivery. The IM barcode is intended to provide greater information and functionality than its predecessors POSTNET and PLANET. An Intelligent Mail barcode has also been referred to as a One Code Solution and a 4-State Customer Barcode, abbreviated 4CB, 4-CB or USPS4CB.
Itf14	4096		ITF-14 (Interleaved Two of Five) is the GS1 implementation of an Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code to encode a Global Trade Item Number. ITF-14 symbols are generally used on packaging levels of a product, such as a case box of 24 cans of soup. The ITF-14 will always encode 14 digits.
MicroQr	8192		Micro QR code is a smaller version of the QR code standard for applications where symbol size is limited.
Patch	16384		Detects Patch 1, Patch 2, Patch 3, Patch 4, Patch 6, and Patch T patch code scanner sheets. The detected patch code symbology is returned as the barcode value.
Pdf417	32768		PDF417 is a 2D (stacked linear) barcode symbology used in a variety of applications, primarily transport, identification cards, and inventory management. PDF417 is one of the formats (along with Data Matrix) that can be used to print postage accepted by the United States Postal Service. PDF417 is also selected by the airline industry's Bar Coded Boarding Pass standard (BCBP) as the 2D bar code symbolism for paper boarding passes. PDF417 is the standard selected by the Department of Homeland Security as the machine readable zone technology for RealID compliant driver licenses and state issued identification cards. It is also used on FedEx on package labels.
Planet	65536		The Postal Alpha Numeric Encoding Technique (PLANET) barcode was used by the United States Postal Service to identify and track pieces of mail during delivery - the Post Office's "CONFIRM" services. It was fully superseded by Intelligent Mail Barcode by January 28, 2013.
Postnet	131072		POSTNET (Postal Numeric Encoding Technique) is a barcode symbology used by the United States Postal Service to assist in directing mail.
Plus2	262144		2-digit supplementals associated with EAN and UPC symbology barcodes.
Plus5	524288		5-digit supplementals associated with EAN and UPC symbology barcodes.
Qr	1048576		QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed for the automotive industry in Japan. The QR Code system became popular outside the automotive industry due to its fast readability and greater storage capacity compared to standard UPC barcodes. Applications include product tracking, item identification, time tracking, document management, and general marketing.
Rm4scc	2097152		Royal Mail 4-State Customer Code is a barcode symbology used by the Royal Mail for its Cleanmail service.
Rss14	4194304		RSS 14 barcode (Reduce Space Symbology) encodes the full 14-digit EAN.UCC item identification in a symbol that can be omnidirectionally scanned by suitably configured point-of-sale laser scanners. RSS-14 alternate formats are read as well as the regular format. The alternate formats are truncated, stacked, and stacked omnidirectional. It is recommended that the alignment of truncated and stacked symbols be close to horizontal or vertical.
RssLimited	8388608		RSS Limited encodes a 14-digit EAN.UCC item identification with indicator digits of 0 or 1 in a small symbol which will not be scanned at POS. It is recommended that symbols whose height is near to the specified minimum be aligned close to horizontal or vertical.
Telepen	16777216		Telepen is a name of a barcode symbology designed in 1972 in the UK to express all 128 ASCII characters.
Upca	33554432		UPC-A. The Universal Product Code (UPC) is a barcode symbology widely used in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and in other countries for tracking trade items in stores. The most common form, UPC-A, consists of 12 numerical digits, which are uniquely assigned to each trade item.
Upce	67108864		UPC-E. This symbology differs from UPC-A in that it only uses a 6-digit code. To allow the use of UPC barcodes on smaller packages where a full 12-digit barcode may not fit, a 'zero-suppressed' version of UPC was developed called UPC-E, in which the number system digit and all trailing zeros in the manufacturer code and all leading zeros in the product code are suppressed. Encodations are a compressed form of UPC A. The DataString property holds the full uncompressed UPC A encodation for this symbology.
Aztec	134217728		Aztec is public domain 2D barcode symbology, formally defined by the ISO/IEC 24778:2008 standard
