public class CodabarBarcode
extends LinearBarcode

This is a concrete implementation of the Codabar barcode, AKA USD-4, Monarch, NW-7 and 2of7. This implementation imposes no restrictions on your choice of start and stop characters, so you will need to check that you are using chars acceptable to your barcode scanner. This implementation does support the traditional a, b, c, d, e, t, n and * start/stop chars. Omitting the start/stop chars from your data will cause the barcode to use the default start/stops chars, A and C, respectively.
This implementation provides no support for check digits (as they are not included in the Codabar specification). However, many uses of Codabars mandate the use of a check digit, and the algorithms used vary from application to application. The most common algorithm is Mod-16. If you wish to implement a check digit in your Codabar barcode, you must calculate it yourself and insert it into the data to be encoded before the Stop char (or at the end of the data if you are letting barbecue insert start and stop chars for you).
