EAN128FNC1

EAN-128 is an alphanumeric one-dimensional representation of Application Identifier (AI) data for marking containers in the shipping industry. This type of bar code contains the following sections:

• Leading quiet zone (blank area)

• Code 128 start character

• FNC (function) 1 character which allows scanners to identify this as an EAN-128 barcode

• Data (AI plus data field)

• Symbol check character (Start code value plus product of each character position plus value of each character divided by 103. The checksum is the remainder value.)

• Stop character

• Trailing quiet zone (blank area)

The AI in the Data section sets the type of the data to follow (i.e. ID, dates, quantity, measurements, etc.). There is a specific data structure for each type of data. This AI is what distinguishes the EAN-128 code from Code 128. Multiple AIs (along with their data) can be combined into a single bar code. EAN128FNC1 is a UCC/EAN-128 (EAN128) type barcode that allows you to insert FNC1 character at any place and adjust the bar size, etc., which is not available in UCC/EAN-128. To insert FNC1 character, set “\n” for C#, or “vbLf” for VB to Text property at runtime.
