National bodies that are me

9、mbers of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international o

10、rganizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO

11、/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 7

12、5 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

13、ittee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 31, Automatic identification and data capture techniques. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 16388:1999), which has been technically revised. BS ISO/IEC 16388:2007vIntroduction The technology of bar coding

14、is based on the recognition of patterns encoded in bars and spaces of defined dimensions. There are numerous methods of encoding information in bar code form, known as symbologies. Code 39 is one such symbology. The rules defining the translation of characters into bar and space patterns and other e

15、ssential features are known as the symbology specification. In the past, symbology specifications were developed and published by a number of organizations, resulting in certain instances in conflicting requirements for certain symbologies. Manufacturers of bar code equipment and users of bar code t

16、echnology require publicly available standard symbology specifications to which they can refer when developing equipment and application standards. BS ISO/IEC 16388:2007blank1Information technology Automatic identification and data capture techniques Code 39 bar code symbology specification 1 Scope

17、This International Standard specifies the requirements for the bar code symbology known as Code 39; it specifies Code 39 symbology characteristics, data character encodation, dimensions, tolerances, decoding algorithms and parameters to be defined by applications. It specifies the Symbology Identifi

22、eristics The characteristics of Code 39 are as follows. a) Encodable character set: 1) full alphanumeric A to Z and 0 to 9 (ASCII characters 65 to 90 and 48 to 57 inclusive, in accordance with ISO 646). BS ISO/IEC 16388:20072 2) special characters: space $ % + - . / (ASCII characters 32, 36, 37, 43,

23、 45, 46 and 47, respectively, in accordance with ISO 646). 3) start/stop character. b) Code type: discrete. c) Elements per symbol character: 9, of which 3 wide and 6 narrow, comprising 5 bars and 4 spaces. d) Character self-checking: yes. e) Data string length encodable: variable. f) Bidirectionall

24、y decodable: yes. g) Symbol check character: one, optional (see Annex A). h) Symbol character density: 13 to 16 modules per symbol character, inclusive of minimum intercharacter gap, depending on wide/narrow ratio. i) Non-data overhead: equivalent to 2 symbol characters. 4.2 Symbol structure As illu

25、strated in Figure 1, Code 39 symbols shall comprise a) leading quiet zone; b) start character; c) one or more symbol characters representing data (including symbol check character, if present); d) stop character; e) trailing quiet zone. A space, the intercharacter gap, shall separate characters with

26、in the symbol. QUIET ZONE START CHARACTER “1“ “A“ STOP CHARACTER QUIET ZONE1AFigure 1 Code 39 symbol 4.3 Character encodation 4.3.1 Symbol character structure Each symbol character comprises nine elements (five bars and four spaces) of which six are always narrow (either three narrow bars and three

27、narrow spaces, or five narrow bars and one narrow space) and three are always wide (one wide space and two wide bars when there are three narrow bars, or three wide spaces when there are five narrow bars). This parity feature enables character self-checking to be carried out. BS ISO/IEC 16388:200734

35、ue regard to the availability of equipment for the production and reading of symbols and complying with the general requirements of the application. See 4.7.1. b) Wide/narrow ratio (N): 2,0 : 1 to 3,0 : 1. BS ISO/IEC 16388:20075c) Width of intercharacter gap (I): 1) minimum: equal to X; 2) maximum:

36、for X 3,4: Grade 0. 4.6.2.2 Intercharacter gap For symbols with a measured narrow element width (Z) less than 0,287 mm, the maximum allowed intercharacter gap is 5,3Z. For symbols with Z greater than or equal to 0,287 mm, the maximum intercharacter gap is the greater of 3Z or 1,52 mm. Each interchar

37、acter gap in the scan reflectance profile under ISO/IEC 15416 shall be measured and graded as follows. I Gmax: Grade 4. I %I %N %S US %E ? %J _ %O DEL %T or %X or %Y or %Z BS ISO/IEC 16388:200712 Annex B (informative) Guidelines for the use of Code 39 B.1 Autodiscrimination compatibility Code 39 may

38、 be read by suitably programmed bar code decoders which have been designed to autodiscriminate it from other symbologies. The decoders valid set of symbologies should be limited to those needed by a given application to maximize reading security. When Code 39 is used in an autodiscrimination environ

39、ment with Interleaved 2 of 5 symbols, the following guidelines shall be followed: a) The nominal intercharacter gaps in the Code 39 symbols shall be no wider than the narrow elements. b) The reading system shall be constrained and the decoder programmed to ensure that the number of characters (inclu

40、ding start and stop characters) in all Code 39 symbols is greater than one-half of the number of data characters in the Interleaved 2 of 5 symbols. c) Interleaved 2 of 5 symbols shall have a minimum length of six characters in environments where they are autodiscriminated with Code 39. The use of fi

41、xed length symbols, bearer bars and check characters with the Interleaved 2 of 5 symbols as recommended in ISO/IEC 16390 provides additional protection in an autodiscrimination environment. B.2 System considerations It is important that the various components (printers, labels, scanners) making up a

42、 bar code installation operate together as a system. A failure in any component, or a mismatch between them, can compromise the performance of the overall system. The characteristics of the printer, symbol and scanner should be matched to achieve the desired performance. B.3 Printing considerations

43、B.3.1 Pixel-based printing Graphics software used to create bar codes on pixel-based printers must scale each bar and space exactly to the pixel pitch of the printer being used, irrespective of the symbology. For two-width symbologies like Code 39 the number of pixels comprising narrow bar and space

44、 elements, before any compensation for bar width growth or loss, shall be a fixed and constant integer, and the number of pixels comprising wide elements, before any compensation for bar width growth or loss, shall be the integer product of the number of pixels in the narrow element multiplied by th

45、e wide:narrow ratio. The width of any required inter-character gap shall also be a fixed integer number of pixels. Therefore, a given printer can only print a certain set of X dimensions and wide:narrow ratios. Compensation for uniform bar width growth (or loss) must be in equal offsetting amounts o

46、n all bars and spaces in the symbol. This may be accomplished by changing an integer number of pixels from dark to light or light to dark in the same manner for each bar-space pair in the symbol and for the last bar in the symbol. For BS ISO/IEC 16388:200713example, all pixels along the same edge of

47、 every bar in the symbol could be changed from dark to light, or pixels along both edges of every bar in the symbol could be changed from dark to light, provided that the printer resolution is sufficient to allow this to be performed satisfactorily. Any set of dark to light or light to dark pixel ch

48、anges is acceptable provided the adjustment is performed consistently across the whole symbol and does not change the total symbol character width. Failure to follow these principles results in degraded symbol quality and often results in unreadable symbols. General purpose printing software designed to support a wide range of printers should provide the user with the capability of adjusting the X dimension and bar width growth or loss. Programmers Example These principles can be reduced to the following rules for digital bar code design
