UPC-E Introduction
UPC-E is the short version of Universal Product Code (UPC) barcodes that is widely used in North America, and in countries including the UK, Australia, and New Zealand for tracking trade items in stores. Comparing with UPC-A UPC-E tends to identify small items.

How to Generate UPC-E with Supplement Barcode
In case of the need of encoding and display of additional information, two-digit supplement barcode (UPCESup2) and five-digit supplement barcode (UPCESup5) could be printed beside UPC-E. Using KA.Barcode for .NET Suite, dynamic supplement barcode with flexible height could be added to UPC-E. The space between the main and supplement barcode is customizable too. Copy the following code to generate UPC-E with supplement barcode in .NET:
Two-digit supplement barcode (UPCESup2)
using KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean;
BarCode upcesup2 = new BarCode();
upcesup2.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.UPCESup2;
upcesup2.CodeToEncode = "012345";
upcesup2.SupplementCode = "12";
upcesup2.SupplementHeight = 0.8f;
upcesup2.SupplementSpace = 15;
upcesup2.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c://upcesup2-csharp.png");
Dim upcesup2 As KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode = New KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode
upcesup2.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.UPCESup2
upcesup2.CodeToEncode = "012345"
upcesup2.SupplementCode = "12"
upcesup2.SupplementHeight = 0.8
upcesup2.SupplementSpace = 15
upcesup2.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c:/upcesup2-vbnet.png")
Five-digit supplement barcode (UPCESup5)
using KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean;
BarCode upcesup5 = new BarCode();
upcesup5.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.UPCESup5;
upcesup5.CodeToEncode = "012345";
upcesup5.SupplementCode = "12345";
upcesup5.SupplementHeight = 0.8f;
upcesup5.SupplementSpace = 15;
upcesup5.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c://upcesup5-csharp.png");
Dim upcesup5 As KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode = New KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode
upcesup5.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.UPCESup5
upcesup5.CodeToEncode = "012345"
upcesup5.SupplementCode = "12345"
upcesup5.SupplementHeight = 0.8
upcesup5.SupplementSpace = 15
upcesup5.generateBarcodeToImageFile("c:/upcesup5-vbnet.png")
Generate UPC-E in Microsoft IIS
1.
Copy the "barcode" folder from the unzipped folder to IIS web application folder
2.
Create a virtual directory named "barcode", then link it to the "barcode" folder in web application folder
3.
Testing: Open your web browser, and navigate to "http://localhost/barcode/barcode.aspx?symbology=39&code-to-encode=012345" (symboloy: UPCE=39, UPCESup2=40, UPCESup5=41)
4.
Adding UPC-E to web page: insert the following tag onto your web pages <img src="http://localhost/barcode/barcode.aspx?symbology=39&code-to-encode=012345"/>
