CODE 128

Barcode functions and fonts are deprecated in PrintShop Mail 7.0 for Windows. We strongly advise using the Barcode Object instead.

Syntax

Example

Result

Parameter description

Text

The string to be represented as barcode. The full (128-character)ASCII character set can be encoded.

This symbology is a very compact barcode for all alphanumeric applications.

The full (128-character) ASCII character set can be encoded in this symbology without the double characters found in extended Code 39.

If the barcode has four or more consecutive numbers (0-9), the numbers are encoded in double density mode (where two characters are encoded into one character position).

Code 128 actually has three different character code subsets. It has two forms of error checking, making it a very stable barcode.

Checksums are not required.

If you have a choice, Code128 is generally the best all round one.
