A self-checking, discrete bar code symbology that has these 16 characters in its set: 0 to 9, dollar sign ($), colon (:), slash (/), period (.), plus (+), and minus (-). Codabar is commonly used in libraries, blood banks, and air-parcel express applications. The American Blood Commission (ABC) Codabar requires that you retain the start/stop code digits when processing a Codabar symbol. The maximum density for a Codabar symbol is 12.8 characters per inch.
Standard bar code symbology used principally by the blood products industry.
A bar code symbology that uses four bars and three spaces to represent the numbers 0 through 9 and a set of special characters
A specific type of bar code used in libraries, blood banks, the overnight package delivery industry, and a variety of other information processing applications. It is also known as USD-4, NW-7, and 2 of 7 code. See Barcode.
A bar code type which may encode 0-9 and six special characters. Four different start and stop patterns are used to signify different uses.

A numeric-only bar code type, in which each character is composed of seven elements: four bars and three spaces. CODABAR is currently used in a variety of applications such as libraries, medicine, and overnight package delivery. Also known as USD-4 code, NW-7, and 2 of 7 code, it was originally developed for retail price-labeling use.
(2 of 7 Code, Code 27)-A numbers-only bar code consisting of seven modules, two of which are wide.

A bar code format (symbology)
Codabar (sometimes called Code 2 of 7) is an older symbology, still in use in some libraries and blood banks, as well as air parcel express applications. It was developed in 1972 by Pitney Bowes Corp. Codabar has lost favor because newer symbologies hold more information in a smaller space.
