BCT_CODE11

 

Field of Application

Code 11 is a dense numeric code with one special character.

 

Charset / Number of Characters

The charset comprises the digits 0..9 and the symbol minus. The number of characters is not limited.

 

Checkdigit

The use of a checkdigit is optional. Two different procedures are common for the checkdigit generation. The barcode library can generate the checkdigit automatically according to the procedure that creates two checkdigits.

 

Characteristics

•The aspect ratio between thin and thick modules can be adjusted using the properties BarcodeThinBar and BarcodeThickBar. To adjust for example a ratio of 1 : 2,5 set BarcodeThinBar = 2 and BarcodeThickBar = 5.

•Code 11 does not code all characters in the same width. The special characters "0", "9", and "-" have one module less than the other characters. Therefore your applications need to reserve enough space.
