CODABAR SETTINGS

Codabar is a variable length symbology capable of encoding six special
alphanumeric characters, capital letters A through D, T, N, *, E, and all
numeric digits. Codabar is one of the oldest barcode symbologies and is
still used in some library applications. It should not be considered for new
applications except under unusual circumstances. 

See page 6 for information on setting the minimum and maximum lengths.
