Circular Code 93 |
Like regular Code 93, Circular Code 93 is an alphanumeric, variable length symbology developed and maintained by Intermec Corporation. The circular shape is useful for printing to disc standards such as CD, DVD, or Blu-Ray. It combines some of the characteristics of Code 39 and GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128) into a single barcode language. As with GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128), each Circular Code 93 character is made up of three bars and three spaces, each of which can be single, double, triple, or quadruple thickness. Also, as with GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128), Circular Code 93 can represent the entire 128-character ASCII set. However, whereas GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128) represents most of the 128 characters with separate, unique characters, Circular Code 93 employs the same 43-character base set as Code 39, and uses two-character combinations to represent the rest of the 128-character set. GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128) is a more versatile and efficient barcode language than Code 93, especially when representing numbers.
