The classic bar code type is Code 39, (also called Code 3 of 9) which has 9 bars

Notice there are two widths of bars and two widths of spaces. If you want to
print a bar code of ABCDE, you need to start and end it with a special Start/Stop
code character -- the * (asterisk) is used for Code 39. To print a bar code of
ABCDE, you would need to enter the data as *ABCDE*. There should be at
least 1/4" of white space to the left and right of the code; this helps the bar code
reader pick out where a bar code begins and ends.
