This help topic describes the specific characteristics of the barcodes per type.

Barcode typeCharacter setLengthCheck digits

EAN-8numeric [0..9]8 digits1 check digit
Postnetnumeric [0..9]variable1 check digit
UPC-Anumeric [0..9]12 digits1 check digit
UPC-Enumeric [0..9]7 digits1 check digit

Be sure to take the check digit into consideration as it decreases the total number of usable digits for your data. For example, if you need 8 digits for your data; you can't use EAN-8 because 8 total digits, minus one check digit, leaves only 7 usable digits.
