<P>Zint is an open source barcode generator which allows you to
encode data in over 30 types of barcode symbol. In this documentation
a barcode encoding method is termed a <I>symbology</I> and the
resulting barcode image is termed a <I>symbol</I>. The symbologies
currently supported by Zint are: [1]</P>
<P>Code 11, Standard Code 2 of 5, IATA Code 2 of 5, Industrial Code 2
of 5, Interleaved Code 2 of 5, Code 2 of 5 Data Logic, ITF-14,
Deutche Post Leitcode, Deutche Post Identcode, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-2,
EAN-5, EAN-8, EAN-13, UK Plessey, MSI Plessey, Telepen Alpha, Telepen
Numeric, Code 39, Extended Code 39, Code 93, PZN, LOGMARS, Codabar,
Pharmacode, Code 128, GS1-128, NVE-18, GS1 DataBar, DataBar-14,
DataBar Limited, DataBar Extended, Code 16k, PDF417, MicroPDF417,
Two-Track Pharmacode, PostNet, PLANET, Australia Post 4-State
Symbols, RM4SCC, USPS OneCode, Data Matrix, QR Code, Maxicode,
Composite Symbols, FIM and Flattermarken.</P>
<P>In addition Zint also provides barcode stacking, colour options
and a verification stage for SBN, ISBN and ISBN-13 data. The aim of
the Zint project is to provide an open source API for encoding all
public domain barcode symbologies.</P>
<P>This document is a guide to the Zint API and front end program as
well as a guide to the barcode technologies which they make
available. Please remember that, although a great deal of care has
been taken to de-bug Zint, many of the symbologies have not been
tested with commercial barcode scanners so you are recommended to
test that symbols decode properly before you use them.</P>

<P>[1] Note that some of these symbologies have more than one name,
and that some of the names given in this list are not the official
names for the symbologies referred to.</P>
