Usage:
It is has been popular because it is the most dense symbol for printing
numeric characters less than 10 characters in length; however, Microscan
does not recommend this symbology for any new applications because of
inherent problems such as truncation.
Definition:
A dense, continuous, self-checking, numeric symbology. Characters are
paired together so that each character has five elements, two wide and
three narrow, representing numbers 0 through 9, with the bars repre-
senting the first character and the interleaved spaces representing the
second character. (A check digit is highly recommended.)
