What Is A Code 39 Barcode

Code 39, also named as 3 of 9 Code, USD-3, Alpha39, Code 3/9, Type 39, USS Code39, is a self-checking linear barcode which encodes alphanumeric data. Code 39 is widely used in non-retail industries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary purpose of Code 39 barcode?

Code 39 barcode (or Code 3 of 9) allows encoding of numbers and text. It is commonly utilized in inventory, government, military, and electronics sectors.

What separates Code 39 from Code 128 barcodes?

Their approach to data accuracy sets them apart. Code 128 requires a checksum, making it more resilient. For Code 39, the checksum is optional; no checksum plus damage means it won't scan.

What's the difference between the Code 39 and Code 93 barcode formats?

Code 93 is an upgraded take on Code 39, supports higher-density encoding than Code 39. It was developed as a space-optimized alternative to its predecessor.

Is Code 39 capable of encoding lowercase letters?

The basic Code 39 doesn't work with lowercase letters; it's supports lowercase letters requires the use of Extended Code 39.

What's the smallest allowed size for Code 39?

Code 39 needs to follow these minimum size rules:

Narrow part width (X): The minimum dimensions for Code 39 are determined by the narrow bar width (X), which is application-specific.
Barcode height: must be the greater of 5.0mm or 15% of the symbol width (not including quiet zones).

What's the allowed ratio between narrow and wide bars in Code 39?

Code 39 uses a narrow-to-wide bar ratio must be between 2 and 3 times.
