UCC / EAN 128 is a variant of Code 128 used mainly in retail distribution / logistics applications.
A UCC / EAN 128 bar code consists of an Application Identifier (AI) used to identify the meaning and the format of the data that follows it, and the numeric-only or alphanumeric data.
A number of Application Identifiers has been defined for identification, traceability data, dates, quantity, measurements, locations, and many other types of information.
BarCodeWiz ActiveX Specific
| · | In order to enter the FNC1 character, use the ASCII 202 character - Ê - (press and hold the ALT key while typing 0202)
|
| · | FNC1 is required only at the end of variable length data section. It is not required as the last character in the bar code. For example:
|
| · | To encode (17) 041220, simply type 17041220 (Ê is not required with fixed length AIs)
|
| · | To encode (17) 041220 (30) 15, type: 170412203015 (Ê is not required at the end)
|
| · | To encode (30) 15 (400) 12345, type: 3015Ê40012345 (Ê is required after 15, because the AI of 30 is variable length)
|
| In the examples above the AI of 17 is fixed length (6 digit Expiration Date), while AI of 30 and 400 are variable length (30 = Quantity, and 400 = Purchase Order Number)
|
| Please note that FNC1 is not necessary at the beginning of the bar code. BarCodeWiz ActiveX inserts it automatically.
|
| · | Check characters are computed automatically. You do not need to enter nor compute them.
