Combining Code Sets With Code 128

    Hello,

    BarTender will automatically switch code sets "on the fly" when generating Code 128 Bar Codes. So, with the data you described, BarTender would start the Bar Code in codeset B, and then switch to CodeSet C.

    If that is not sufficient, you can also manually change codesets using the following table:

    [attachment=247:CodeSet Table.PNG]

    To set that up you just change the codeset type for the Bar Code to "Manual" and then insert the control characters when you want to change codesets.

    Does that answer your question?

    You can try create code128 in asp.net.
    In library , you can choose CODE128 auto, it will automatically decide which encodable set should be used.
    Check the website to try:[b]businessrefinery.com/products/barcode_asp_net/code_128.html[/b]

    I have a customer who needs a carton barcode to print the following data for the UCC 128 label:

     

    (00) 0 00 12345 123456789 2

     

    The actual data is:   00000986170000216013

     

    Every time I try to print I get a too many characters error.

    Your best bet is to use BarTender's "GS1 Application Identifier Data Source Wizard..." which you'll find under your GS1-128 bar code properties (under the "Symbology and Size" pane in newer versions).

     

    AI 00 requires you just to enter 17 digits, as the 18th is the check digit which will be automatically calculated by BarTender (in order to avoid external sources to supply a wrong check digit).

    Hi,

    I have to shift from a code 128 subset C to a code 128 subset b and vice versa.  

    I manage the entire string of data before passing it to the bartender via database field. The data string is of the type:

    (02)9801269800252(3102)024683(15)240603(10)3334455^1(37)18    (Obviously without the brackets) and where ^1 is FNC1.

    Please could you show me an example where before the last digit of lot 3334455 it passes from set C to set B and then return to set C.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    BarTender will control that in the output it sends to the printer as the commands required will vary dependent on the printer being used.

    If you just send the data as

    029801269800252310202468315240603103334455^13718

    connected to a GS1-128 symbol then it will print correctly
