The barcode engine supports the following patch codes:

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, set the writer BarcodeType property to PatchCode, then set the writer BarcodeValue 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 MinimumBarWidth property to 5 pixels (narrow bar size), you should set the HorizontalWhiteSpace property to 50 pixels. There is no checksum for Patch Code.
The minimum bar width for Patch Codes is 5.
