Character Mappings

UPC/EAN barcodes support only numeric characters. However the data characters do not have a direct mapping as in other barcodes. The mapping of the characters depends on a Parity Map table. The mechanism is complex and thus it is recommended to use the Encoder or Macros provided in ConnectCode to generate these barcodes.
