UCC/EAN-128 Support - when using our Code 128 fonts for
UCC-128 or EAN-128 barcodes, every barcode must begin with a
Start C character followed by a (fnc1) "function code one"
character. Our Code128() function in our font tools provides
an automated method for doing this by inserting an ASCII202
character for each AI represented. Additionally, when printed
at 12 points our IDAutomationC128M font is specifically
designed for UCC/EAN 128 barcodes where a size of 1/2 inch
tall and an X dimension of 10 mils is required. UCC-128 and
EAN-128 are primarily used for distribution applications and
serialized carton tracking.
-
Six Different Heights Provided
- The Code 128 barcode fonts are scaleable and
should be printed at the correct font size to suit your
application and scanning equipment. In addition to using the
point size to set the font width, six (6) versions of the Code
128 barcode fonts are provided to support different height
requirements. The last characters in the Code 128 barcode font
name determines the height of the barcode with the shortest
being IDAutomationC128XS and the tallest being
IDAutomationC128XXL.
-
Human Readable Versions - of the Code 128 fonts are
also provided for character sets B and C with your order. Each
of these is also supplied in the 6 different heights for a
total of 18 different Code 128 fonts. The Code 128 human
readable fonts all start with IDAutomationHC128 and include
the letter "H" prior to a lower case letter specifying the
character set. For example, the font "IDAutomationHbC128M.ttf"
is a human readable for character set B with a font height of
M for Medium. The human readable format is not as popular as
the standard version because the check digit will also appear.
It is recommended to print the data that is encoded directly
below the barcode instead.
-
Industry Standards - Our Code 128 barcode fonts were
created directly from AIM and ISO standards.
-
Low Resolution Printer Support - Our Code128 Fonts are
designed to print precisely on 203 DPI thermal printers and
300 DPI printers in addition to higher resolution printers.
When printing at 203 DPI, the point size chosen should be a
multiple of 6. When printing at 300 DPI, the point size chosen
should be a multiple of 4.
-
USPS Support - when printed at 16 points, the
IDAutomationC128L font will produce the exact dimensions for
UCC/EAN Code 128 required by the USPS special services, which
is a height of .75" and an X dimension of .013". For
information about formatting USPS UCC/EAN128 barcodes with our
products, refer to the USPS portion of the Code 128 FAQ.
-
Easy Function Encoding Capability - Our fonts provide
easy methods of encoding functions such as returns and tabs in
the barcode.
-
Embeddable Functionality - the fonts included with the
Developer License allow embedding. Our fonts may be embedded
info PDFs, Word documents and other files that support
embedding so users that do not have the fonts installed can
still print the barcode.
-
Data Sheet & Implementation Examples - for more
technical information about our Code 128 fonts such as
dimension specifications, character set detail and calculating
the check character.
-
Multiple Language and Locale Support - in the event
your system regional setting is not set to "English" or the
1252 Latin-1 codepage, these fonts support the following
additional codepages in Windows: 1250 European, 1251 Cryllic,
1253 Greek, 1254 Turkish, 1255 Hebrew and 1256 Arabic. To
obtain a font that works in any operating system, codepage and
locale, we offer the Universal Barcode Font Advantage™, which
creates Code 128 and many other barcodes with a single font.
-
Multiple Formats Provided - when you purchase a license
for this font, you will receive all versions in a single ZIP
file. The manual is supplied in a file named "readme" in the
ZIP file.
Code 128
Symbology Information:
Code128 is high density barcode
that encodes numbers, symbols, uppercase and lowercase text as
well as functions such as returns and tabs. It requires a
checksum to be calculated and can be difficult to use as a font
if you are not a technical user. If you do not use one of our
Font Tools, the implementation of Code 128 as a bar code font
can be difficult because it requires a checksum to be
calculated. If you are not required to use Code 128 barcodes and
you need an easy to use alpha-numeric barcode, consider our Code
39 barcode font which does not require checksums to be
calculated. We also sell many barcode components that may be an
easier implementation in applications such as Microsoft® Access
or Visual Basic because they automatically calculate the
checksum and format the barcode.
