EAN�UCC Application Identifiers
Attribute information is data over and above the item identity given by the GTIN (global trade item number).

Application Identifiers (AI�s) allow you to represent attribute information like batch numbers, serial numbers, durability dates, measurements, as well as item identification, locations, assets and shipments in a standard format. This ensures that the attribute information used by any company can also be used by any other company in the supply chain.

Notes:
(1) when indicating only a year and month; fill DD with 00 (meaning that the day is not specified)
(2) indicates plus one digit (n) for length indication
(3) indicates that these AI�s comprise four digits. The first three identify the purpose of the AI and the fourth digit (n) indicates the position of the decimal point.

2 or 5 DIGIT ADD-ON
Commonly used with ISBN (International Standard Book Number) or ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) barcode symbols.

The ISBN numbering system was established as a method of cataloguing each new book title and edition. The adoption of the EAN (European Article Numbering) system allows books to be scanned through stores under the same symbology as that used for general goods. The ISBN New Two symbol has a two digit add-on code which is used to carry in-house supplementary information while the ISBN New Five version has a five digit add-on which is used to encode price.

ISSN is used for serial publications, i.e. magazines, newspapers, periodicals and journals. The two digit add-on supplementary code is used to differentiate between the various issue numbers. There are no rigid rules, but generally weekly publications will be numbered from 01 to 52 (or 53) through the calendar year, daily publications will run from 01 to 07 repeating weekly and monthly publications will be numbered from 01 to 12.The ISSN symbol may appear on it's own, with a two digit add-on (ISSN + 2) or with a five digit add-on (ISSN + 5).

Apart from EAN-13's, the UPC (Universal Product Code) symbology also allows for supplementary codes to be added to the main barcode. These add-ons can be 2 or 5 digits. The UPC supplementary codes were mainly intended for use on books and periodicals, but may also fulfil an in-house function. UPC supplementary codes available are UPC-A + 2, UPC-A + 5, UPC-E + 2 and UPC-E+ 5.

MAGNIFICATION FACTOR
The amount to multiply the nominal dimensions of a barcode to obtain the actual dimensions for the electronic master or film master. As an example, the dimensions of a nominal size EAN-13 symbol at Magnification Factor 100% is 37.29mm (width: inclusive of 'Left and Right Light Margin' areas) and 26.26mm (height). Magnification factors range from 80% to 200% for EAN-13 and EAN-8 symbols, 50% to 100% for ITF-14 (EAN-14) symbols, 25% to 100% for UCC/EAN-128 symbols and 50% to 94% for SSCC symbols. For more detailed information, refer Barcode Size Charts on www.barcodes4u.com.au.

PRINTABILITY RANGE
The range of marks in a printability gauge found to have lost resolution when printed over a series of print runs.

BAR WIDTH REDUCTION

The extent by which the bars on the digital/film master are reduced in order to correct for print gain.
Reduction of the nominal dimension bar width on digital/film masters or printing plates to compensate for systematic errors in some printing processes. Bar width reduction can have positive or negative values.

For more detailed information, refer Printability Range on www.barcodes4u.com.au.

FILE FORMAT
Specify preferred file format, e.g. EPS or Adobe Illustrator files to suit Macintosh or IBM compatibles. Files to import directly into Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Pagemaker, AdobeInDesign, Photoshop, QuarkXpress, CorelDraw or any other popular desktop application programs.
