Code 39 Settings
Code 39 is a discrete, self-checking barcode that is also known as "Alpha39", "Code 3 of 9" (often abbreviated to "3 of 9"), "Code 3/9", "Type 39", "USS Code 39" and "USD-3".
Code 39 data should contain no more than 20 digits from within the following range: Numeric digits: (0-9), upper-case letters (A-Z), seven special characters (- . space $ / + %) and the start/stop asterisk (*) character.
If the Extended character set is chosen, then lower-case letters (a-z) and other special ASCII characters can also be included.
Use the following options to configure the output Barcode settings:
- Code 39 Properties group:
- Height: Enter the Barcode
height in either metric (cm/mm), inch (in), pixel (px) or point (pt) values.
