Code 39 is variable length and is the most frequently used symbology in industrial bar code
systems today. It is extensively used within the Department of Defense (DOD). The principal
feature is to encode messages using the full alphanumeric character set. Standard Code 39
contains only 43 characters (0-9, A-Z, $, /, %, +, -, ., SPACE) and can be extended to a 128
character symbology (full ASCII) by combining one of the special characters (S, /, %, +) with a
letter (A-Z) to form the characters that are not present in the standard Code 39 symbology.
