DataBar Coupon Barcode
 All
coupons should now include the GS1 DataBar
barcode and a GTIN 12 (UPC-A) code according to the Joint Industry Coupon Committee (JICC). In January 2010, only the GS1
DataBar barcode will be required on coupons. A GS1
Databar Coupon Tutorial has been created to assist customers
in generating coupon barcodes.
IDAutomation offers
the DataBar
font, Databar
Windows Forms Control and the DataBar Image
Generator to create Expanded Databar barcodes.
The following is a list of hand-held
barcode scanners that read DataBar Coupon Codes to assist with testing:
