In Databar UPC-A barcode font, linear component UPC-A uses for encoding main information, and MicroPDF417 (Composite Symbology) is used for encoding additional information. There are 12 digits in a UPC-A barcode. The initial single-digit number system character designates the code's classification—as a regular product, a weighted item, a medication, a discount coupon, etc. The following five numbers are used to encode information about the product's manufacturer, while the next five digits are used to encode details about the particular product being encoded and a check digit. Two bars and two gaps of varied widths make up the pattern that each numeral is represented by. Except for numbers, no other special characters, including letters, may be used.

Composite data Encoding components

The Databar UPC-A barcode font's first row features a representation of the composite component (CC) MicroPDF417. When the data value is 56 characters or fewer, the Barcode Software must utilize CC-A, and when value exceeds to 57 characters or more, it must use CC-B.

12 Numeric, GTIN-12, and select applications may all be encoded using Databar UPC-A. This barcode symbology is Omni-directional in representation and suitable for POS application.

Positive and Negative point of Databar UPC-A barcode

Positive: A typical barcode scanner can read Databar UPC-A barcodes since they are straightforward, brief, and widely used. The check digit also protects against unintentional mistakes, especially when manually inputting the code. The last digit is calculated using a mathematical formula by adding the preceding 11 digits together in a certain way. When the check digit is wrong, you will get notified that there is an error in encoding.

Negative: A Databar UPC-A barcode's 12 digit method allows for short, restricted encoding, which makes it perfect for usage in supermarkets and retail settings but less suitable for other scanning and identifying tasks.
