Code 128
Field Description
Symbology
Select Code 128 from the drop down list. For a complete list of
available symbologies along with examples and descriptions of each,
please refer to the topic
Barcode Symbology Reference .
Bar Width
This setting determines density of the barcode. Increase the bar
width (applies to the individual bars in the barcode) and the density is
decreased. You might want a moredense barcode to fit on a small
label, for example. Keep in mind that a barcode that is too dense
may be harder for a scanner to read and may not be scannable at all.
Char per inch
This settings stands for character per inch. Code 128 is a dense
barcode and supports a relatively high character per inch. You can
add more characters per inch by increasing the number in this field,
resulting in a more dense barcode. Notice that as you increase the
number in the Char per inch field, the Bar Width field decreases. The
more characters you add per inch, the more dense your barcode will
be. Keep in mind that a barcode that is too dense may be harder for
a scanner to read and may not be scannable at all.
Bar Height
This setting determines how tall your barcode will be. The bar height
does not affect density.
Char Set
There are three different character sets for Code 128 - A, B and C
and Default. By leaving this set to Default, Labeler will determine the
best character set to use based on the content of your barcode.
Default is the recommended setting to help you avoid.
• Character Set A
- Contains capital letters, control characters
and digits.
• Character Set B
- Contains all printable characters.
• Character Set C
- Contains only numbers and the FNC1
character.
Append
Use the Append field to add any characters you want included at the
end of your barcode.
