Code 93 Barcode
This Symbology is also known as ANSI/AIM
Code 93, ANSI/AIM Code 93, Uniform Symbology Specification Code 93, USS Code
93, USS 93, Code 9/3, USS-93, USD-3, Code 93 Extended, and Code 93 Full ASCII
This Barcode Symbology is supported by the following
Neodynamic products:
Overview
 Code 93 was designed to complement
and improve upon Code 39. Code 93 is similar in that it, like Code 39, can
represent the full ASCII character set by using combinations of 2 characters.
It differs in that Code 93 is a continous, variable-length symbology and
produces denser code.
Code 93 offers higher information density for alphanumeric data than either
Code 39 or Code 128. What kind of data can be encoded by Code 93?
-
The Standard Mode
(Default implementation) can encode uppercase letters (A through Z), digits (0
through 9) and a handful of special characters like the *, -, $, %, (Space), .,
/, and +
-
The Full ASCII Mode or Extended Version can encode all 128 ASCII
characters
The * (asterisk) is not a true encodable character, but is the
start and stop 'symbol' for Code 93.

Note: Please refer to the Class
Reference documentation for more information about the properties and methods
stated in this document.
In order to get a Code 93 barcode image, please follow these
steps:
-
Set the Symbology property to Code93
-
Set the AddChecksum property to False
-
By default, Code 93 can only encode uppercase letters (A through Z), digits (0
through 9) and a handful of special characters like the *, -, $, %, (Space), .,
/, and +. If you need to encode all 128 ASCII characters, please set the Extended
property to True
-
Setting up dimensions and quiet zones:
-
Set the BarWidth and BarHeight
properties (Values are expressed in Inches)
-
Set the QuietZoneWidth
property (Value is expressed in Inches)
-
Set the TopMargin and BottomMargin properties (Values are
expressed in Inches)
-
Set the Code
property with the value to encode.
-
Code 93 utilizes asterisk characters as Start & Stop symbols and
they are shown in the human readable text of a barcode image. You can rid of
those characters from the human readable text by setting up the DisplayStartStopChar
property to False

Setting up dimensions and quiet zones:
All values for barcode dimensions are expressed
in INCHES by default. However, Barcode Professional supports other unit
of measurement such as Millimeter, Centimeter, and Mils.
For modifying the unit of measurement for barcoding, please set up the BarcodeUnit
property as needed.

Set the BarWidth and BarHeight properties (Values are expressed
in Inches)
-

Example of Code 93 barcode images
Code property = ABC 123456789 will produce the
following barcode image:
Code property = (abc) 123456789 and Extended
property = True will produce the following barcode image:
