  • Symbologies: their uses, and add-on, sequence variant and error correction notes Uses: lines on the pages that had none, for the uses people look a symbology up by (postal services, healthcare and pharmacy codes, libraries, coupons, payment slips, add-ons, GS1 DataBar), and on Code 128, Code 39, Data Matrix, EAN-13 and UPC-A for ISBT 128, AIAG B-10, IUID, securPharm IFA, EIGP 114 and restricted circulation numbers. GS1 Data Matrix names DSCSA beside the Falsified Medicines Directive. EAN-5 gives the book price add-on's meanings, EAN-2 the issue number, ISSN that the sequence variant is optional, and QR Code what the error correction level trades.
