Self-checking fonts offer easy integration with many applications without
the requirement of check digit calculations. Easy implementation is
accomplished by appending an asterisk before and after the data encoded
to create a complete barcode symbol, as demonstrated in the following
Excel
Barcode Example. |

and some symbols; it is also referred to as Barcode/39, the 3 of 9 Code

Codabar
- A numeric barcode encoding numbers with a slightly higher density
than Code 39. |
