Code 128 Barcode Font
Code 128 is one of the most popular modern barcodes. It is a very high density barcode supporting alphanumeric characters. This barcode is used as the basis for many other barcodes like UCC/EAN, HIBC(Health Industry Barcode) and the Blood Bank Industry barcode.
Other than being high density, this barcode supports the ASCII character set. And is thus increasingly adopted in many different applications. This barcode has 106 unique representations and supports the Full ASCII by using a multiple character set mechanism.
Character Set supported in barcode
- Code128 Auto - Support Code 128 A/B/C characters. Automatically switch between the different code sets and performs characters optimization
- Code128A - ASCII without lowercase characters
- Code128B - ASCII without the initial ASCII special characters

Using the Code 128 barcode font
Code 128 A
To encode "ABCDEF" in Code 128A.
'J' is the check character. The calculation of this character is specified in the next section. 'ë' is the start character of Code 128 A while 'î' is the stop character.
Input: ëABCDEFJî
Output:
Code 128 B
To encode "abcdef" in Code 128B.
'å' is the check character. The calculation of this character is specified in the next section. 'ì' is the start character of Code 128 B while 'î' is the stop character.
Input: ìabcdefåî
Output:
Code 128 C
To encode "12345678" in Code 128C.
'O' is the check character. The calculation of this character is specified in the next section. 'í' is the start character of Code 128 C while 'î' is the stop character.
Input: í,BXnOî
Output:
If you are using the Encoder, it will automatically put in the start/stop characters and generate the check character for you.
Code 128 Auto
It is recommended to use the Encoder or VB macros to generate the barcode if you intend to use Code 128 Auto. For example to encode "12345678".
