    Barcode Xpress supports the following patch codes:

    Patch Code Type Barcode Value
    Patch 1 1100
    Patch 2 1001
    Patch 3 1010
    Patch 4 / Toggle Patch 0110
    Patch 6 0011
    Patch T / Transfer patch 0101

    To write a Patch Code using Barcode Xpress, set the writer BarcodeType property to PatchCode, then set the writer MakeBarcodeValue property to a value of 1 through 6.

    Patch Codes require a quiet zone, which should be at least the width of 10 narrow bars. This means that if you set the MakeBarcodeBarSize property to 5 pixels (narrow bar size), you should set the MakeBarcodeBWidth property to 50 pixels. There is no checksum for Patch Code.

    The minimum bar width for Patch Codes is 5.
