<br />a request to fit an eight-character bar code message onto a label <br />less than one inch long. <br /> <br />"We solved that problem by producing Code 3/9 with a narrow bar width <br />of .005," says Marketing Manager Bruce wray. "At the time, there was <br />only one scanner capable of reading a symbol of that densit. Now <br />several manufactures have introduced very high density scanners." <br /> <br />As ultra-high density llabel requirements have become more stringent, <br />Computype has broadened its reputation as a world leader in pre- <br />printed sequential photographic bar code label products. With <br />manufacturing plants in both the u.s. and U.K. Computype is supplying <br />labels to a growing list of companies with both ultra-high density <br />and Base 31, 32, and 36 numbering systems. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />These capabilities enable Computype to provide features that were <br />previously mutually exclusive: small labels with large numbers of <br />possible character combinations. For example, using a Base 32 <br />numbering system (0-9, A-Z, omitting letters 0, I, s, and Z) and a <br />four-character message, the number of unique messages possible is <br />well over one million. This can be encoded in a label less than one- <br />half inch long (see chart attached). By doubling the message lenghth <br />to eight characters, the result is over one billion possible <br />combinations. The space required? Less than three-quarters of an <br />inchl <br /> <br />"This capability is a real problem-solver for a wide variety of our <br />customers," says wray. "It's gratifying to see more bar code label <br />users taking advantage of this enhancement to the technology. <br /> <br />Computype, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of bar code label products <br />for a wide range of applications, from offices na laboratories to <br />heavy industry and materials handling, and has pioneered numerous <br />innovations in bar code label production. <br /> <br />COMPANY: Computype <br />PRODUCT: Screen Printed Labels ex Press Sens (2751915) <br />TRADE NAME: Code 3/9 <br />EVENT: Product Design & Development (33) <br />COUNTRY: Minnesota (1727); MN (1727) <br /> <br />5/9/11 (Item 11 from file: 621) <br />DIALOG(R)File 621:PTS New Prod.Annou.(R) <br />(c) 1994 Information Access Co.
