# Supported Barcode Types

Media Server can read the following types of barcode:

- Codabar
- Code-128
- Code-39
- Code-93
- Datalogic 2/5
- Data Matrix
- EAN-13 (including optional EAN-2 or EAN-5 supplement)
- EAN-8 (including optional EAN-2 or EAN-5 supplement)
- I25
- IATA 2/5
- Industrial 2/5
- Matrix 2/5
- Patch Code
- PDF417
- QR
- UPC-A (including optional EAN-2 or EAN-5 supplement)
- UPC-E (including optional EAN-2 or EAN-5 supplement)

NOTE: Some types of barcode are a subset of other types.

- UPC-A is a subset of EAN-13. If you configure Media Server to detect EAN-13 barcodes, Media Server returns all EAN-13 barcodes including UPC-A.
- ISBN barcodes are a subset of EAN-13 that begin with 978 or 979, so you can detect ISBN barcodes by configuring Media Server to detect EAN-13 barcodes, but Media Server will also return EAN-13 barcodes than are not in the ISBN range.
- GS1-128 barcodes (sometimes known as UCC/EAN-128) are a subset of Code-128 barcodes, so you can detect these using the Code-128 type.
