Symbologies are systems of encoding data such that a scanner and/or a decoding
system may together read and decode the data encoded in the barcode. Aside from
the actual technique of encoding the bars and spaces a number of technical
specifications or characteristics define and separate one Symbology from
another.
Barcode Professional supports many of the most popular
Linear (1D), Postal and 2D Symbologies.
