Barcode Creator 3.1 Supports:
EAN

EAN bar code label print effect
The EAN frontend is similar to UPC; it accepts strings of digits, 12 or 7 characters long. Strings of 13 or 8 characters are accepted if the provided checksum digit is correct. I expect most users to feed input without a checksum, though. The add-2 and add-5 extension are accepted for both the EAN-13 and the EAN-8 encodings.
UPC

UPC bar code label print effect
The UPC frontend accepts only strings made up of digits (and, if a supplemental encoding is used, a blank to separate it). It accepts strings of 11 or 12 digits (UPC-A) and 6 or 7 or 8 digits (UPC-E).
ISBN

ISBN bar code label print effect
ISBN numbers are encoded as EAN-13 symbols, with an optional add-5 trailer. The ISBN frontend of the library accepts real ISBN numbers and deals with any hyphen and, if present, the ISBN checksum character before encoding data.
CODE 128

code 128 bar code label print effect
Code 128 uses the full 128 ASCII character set, can encode as many characters as desired, and is designed to be ultra-high density. Code 128 is capable of displaying 2 digits with one set of bars (known as double density, or Subset C).
CODE 128-B

code 128b bar code label print effect
This encoding can represent all of the printing ASCII characters, from the space (32) to DEL (127). The checksum digit is mandatory in this encoding.
CODE 128-C

code 128c bar code label print effect
The "C" variation of Code-128 uses Code-128 symbols to represent two digits at a time (Code-128 is made up of 104 symbols whose interpretation is controlled by the start symbol being used). Code 128-C is thus the most compact way to represent any even number of digits. The encoder refuses to deal with an odd number of digits because the caller is expected to provide proper padding to an even number of digits.
CODE 128 RAW

code 128 raw bar code label print effect
Code-128 output represented symbol-by-symbol in the input string. To override part of the problems outlined below in specifying code128 symbols, this pseudo-encoding allows the used to specify a list of code128 symbols separated by spaces. Each symbol is represented by a number in the range 0-105. The list should include the leading character. The checksum and the stop character are automatically added by the Barcode Creator.
CODE 39

code 39 bar code label print effect
The code-39 standard can encode uppercase letters, digits, the blank space, plus, minus, dot, star, dollar, slash, percent. Any string that is only composed of such characters is accepted by the code-39 encoder. To avoid loosing information, the encoder refuses to encode mixed-case strings (a lowercase string is nonetheless accepted as a shortcut, but is encoded as uppercase).
INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5

INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 bar code label print effect
This encoding can only represent an even number of digits (odd digits are represented by bars, and even digits by the interleaving spaces). The name stresses the fact that two of the five items (bars or spaces) allocated to each symbol are wide, while the rest are narrow. The checksum digit is optional (can be disabled via check the "Without checksum" option in "Options" dialog). Since the number of digits, including the checksum, must be even, a leading zero is inserted in the string being encoded if needed (this is specifically stated in the specs Barcode Creator have access to).
CODABAR

codebar bar code label print effect
Codabar can encode the ten digits and a few special symbols (minus, plus, dollar, colon, bar, dot). The characters "A", "B", "C" and "D" are used to represent four different start/stop characters. The input string to the Barcode Creator can include the start and stop characters or not include them (in which case "A" is used as start and "B" as stop). Start and stop characters in the input string can be either all lowercase or all uppercase and are always printed as uppercase.
PLESSEY

PLESSEY bar code label print effect
Plessey barcodes can encode all the hexadecimal digits. Alphabetic digits in the input string must either be all lowercase or all uppercase. The output text is always uppercase.
MSI

MSI bar code label print effect
MSI can only encode the decimal digits. While the standard specifies either one or two check digits, the current implementation in this version only generates one check digit.
CODE 93

code 93 bar code label print effect
Code 93 can represent the full 128 ASCII character set.
