(6/93) ANSI/AIM BC6-1995, Uniform Symbology Specification - Code 49

A multi row symbology, Code 49 offers high information density encoding of the full (128-character) ASCII set. Character encodation, reference decode algorithm and optional check character calculation are included in this document.

6/93) ANSI/AIM BC7-1995, Uniform Symbology Specification - Code 16K

Code 16K
A multi row symbology, Code 16K offers high information density encoding of the full (128-character) ASCII set and double density encoding of numeric data strings. A new feature also allows the encodation of extended ASCII for non-English language characters. Character encodation (code sets A, B, and C), reference decode algorithm and optional check character calculation are included in this document.
   

Codablock F

Codablock F is a multi-row symbology.  The structure of the multi-row matrix is governed by rules which conform to this specification.  The data and symbol characters are identical to those of Code 128.  Each row is structured so that it conforms fully to the rules of the basic encodation symbology.  Character near the beginning and end of each row, not part of the encoded data in the row, are relevant to the structure of the Codablock symbol.
   

(8/94) Uniform Symbology Specification - PDF417

PDF417 is a two-dimensional, multi-row symbology designed to be scanned by laser scanners and linear CCD scanners. The symbology can be decoded even when scan lines cross rows. PDF417 is designed with selectable levels of error correction. It supports industry standard escape sequences to define international code pages and special encodation schemes. PDF417 is used to encode data files with hundreds or thousands of characters in a laser scannable symbol. This document includes descriptions of the character encodation, symbol structure, reference decode algorithm, and symbol quality measurements for PDF417. PDF417
   

(6/98) International Symbology Specification MicroPDF417

MicroPDF417 is a multi-row symbology, derived from and closely based on PDF417. MicroPDF417 is designed for applications with a need for improved area efficiency but without the requirement for PDF417's maximum data capacity. A limited set of symbol sizes is available, together with a fixed level of error correction for each symbol size. Module dimensions are user-specified to enable symbol production and reading by a wide variety of techniques. MicroPDF 417
