1. UPC-E Barcode Introduction
UPC-E is also known as Universal
Product Code version E, UPC-E Supplement 5/Five-digit Add-On, UPC-E Supplement
2/Two-digit Add-On, UPC-E+5, UPC-E+2, UPC-E0, E0, UPC-E1, E1, GTIN-12 with lead
"0", GS1-12, UCC-12
UPC-E is a variation of UPC-A which allows for a more compact barcode by eliminating "extra" zeros.
Since the resulting UPC-E barcode is about half the size as an UPC-A barcode, UPC-E is generally used on products with very small packaging where a full UPC-A barcode couldn't reasonably fit.
A UPC-E barcode represents 6 digits with an implied number system 0. However, a Number System 1 can be used as well.

Sample of a UPC-E Barcode with Data property = "123450", and UPCENumberSystem = 0.
The data displayed by UPC-E barcode image has the following structure:
- 1 digit for Number System (0 or 1), set through UPCENumberSystem property
- 6 digits for UPCE data set through Data property
- 1 digit for checksum, calculated automatically by barcode library.
Add-On or Supplement code
The Add-On Symbols were designed to encode information
supplementary to that in the main bar code symbol on periodicals and paperback
books. The Add-On can be composed of 2 or 5 digits only.

3. UPC-E Barcode Property Settings
- Set the Type property to BarcodeType.UPCE, or BarcodeType.UPCE_2, or BarcodeType.UPCE_5

User should only provide 6 digits, and DO NOT include last digit checksum character. -
Set the SData property with the supplement value to encode. Type is string.
User should only provide 2 digits for UPCE_2, and provide only 5 digits for UPCE_5. - Set the UPCENumberSystem property. Valid value is 0 or 1.
-
Setting up barcode image size:
-
Set property UOM (Unit of Measure) for properties BarWidth, BarHeight, LeftMargin and TopMargin.
Default is UnitOfMeasure.Pixel (0). Valid values are UnitOfMeasure.Pixel (0), UnitOfMeasure.CM (1), UnitOfMeasure.Inch (2). - Set the BarWidth (for bar cell width) and BarHeight (for bar cell height) properties. Both types are float.
- Set the LeftMargin and TopMargin properties, and types are both float.
- Set the Resolution property (Value is expressed in DPI - Dots per inch). This property is not working in Windows Controller, we will use end user's windows resultion.
-
Set property UOM (Unit of Measure) for properties BarWidth, BarHeight, LeftMargin and TopMargin.
-
Setting up text style in barcode image:
- Set the ShowText properties. If this value is true, barcode data will be displayed with the barcode.
- Set the TextFont property. The font used to display text in barcode image.
- Set the Format property for barcode image type. Value can be "gif", "jpg", "png", and "bmp", default is "png".
- Set BearerBars property, if you want to draw borders around barcode image. Value can be BearerBar.None (no bear bars), BearerBar.Frame (top, bottom, left, right borders drawn), BearerBar.TopBottom (only top, bottom's are drawn).
-
Set Rotate property, if you want to rotate barcode image.
Value can be
0 (RotateOrientation.BottomFacingDown),
1 (RotateOrientation.BottomFacingLeft),
2 (RotateOrientation.BottomFacingUp),
3 (RotateOrientation.BottomFacingRight) - AddCheckSum property is not applied here. Barcode Library will always add a check character in the last digit (modulo 10). The UPC-E check digit has the same value of the check digit on the equivalent UPC-A number.
