Definition
The data in a PostScript bar code sequence is represented within parentheses, for example: (0123456789).
For composite bar codes, the sequence uses the “pipe” character “|” to extend the sequence.
For example, this is a UPC-A Composite example sequence:
(12345678901|Lexmark)
<< /Symbology /UPC-A >> barcodeshow
• UPC-A data begins with “12345678901”
• Followed by a “|” pipe character
• Followed by the composite data string: “Lexmark”
• Followed by a the UPC-A symbology sequence
• Followed by the PostScript barcodeshow operator
