Create UPC-E using Console Application Template

  • Draw UPC E bar code images by using Command Lines
  • Be used as essential tool to develop Console applications that draw UPC E
  • Integrate with Console Application Template in Visual Studio
  • Visual Basic, Visual C#, and Visual Jscript are supported
  • Inherit Console Applications with Supplemental UPC-E +2 and UPC-E +5 generation functionality
  • Image Formats including GIF, BMP, PNG, JPEG, and TIFF are supported
  • Reusable .NET component

Visual Studio Console Application Template

Visual Studio carries A number of visual Studio Templates. They are developed to create the basic container of the application, class, controls you are developing. It also builds the basic items you need.

Console Application Template is used in Console Application Development. It draws the basic structure of the console application easily by adding essential project reference and files to the console application.

The Console Application retains all the functionality of .NET UPC-E Generator. It supports image formats: GIF, BMP, PNG, JPEG, and BITMAP. It provides flexible barcode size options as well as barcode color options. The UPC-E bar code image could be rotated to 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

All the functionality could be easily inherited from .NET UPC-E Generator to the console application you created. Thus, you can use command line to implement UPC A barcode generation in .NET.

UPC-E

Overview

UPC is short for Universal Product Code. It is popular in United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The UPC, the Universal Product Code, is a specific kind of barcode symbology. It is primarily used in North America and also in other countries such as the UK, New Zealand and Australia for tracking trade items in department stores. In order to allow the use of UPC barcodes on smaller packages where a full12-digit barcode can not fit, UPC-E was designed as a zero-compressed version of UPC.

Featurs

As is known, UPC-A is the most common form of UPC. Whereas, This symbology, UPC-E, is distinguished from UPC-A in that it only utilizes a 6-digit code, does not use middle guard bars, and the end bit pattern (E) becomes 010101. The last (right-hand most) digit decides the way in which a 6-digit UPC-E relates to a 12-digit UPC-A. It can be clearly seen with the manufacturer code represented by X's.

Formatting

One important thing is that a quiet zone, with a width of at least 9 times the x-dimension, must be presented on each side of the scannable area of the UPC-A barcode. It is obviously that 9 X-dimension units on the left side and 7 on the right are needed by UPC-E. As for a GTIN-12 number which is encoded in a UPC-A barcode symbol, we often put the first and last digits outside the symbol so as to indicate the quiet zones that are necessary for barcode scanners to work appropriately.

Check Digits

UPC-E check digits are computed by using the expanded string in the same way as used by UPC-A. Therefore, the resulting check digit will not be added to the barcode. However, it will be encoded by manipulating the parity of the six digits which are present in the UPC-E
