Barcode prefix standards code#

20 alphanumeric characters (variable-length) or less are available.

'10' is the application identifier to indicate the batch number and the lot number of the product.

Even if the number of digits for the data following the application identifier is a variable-length, is given to separate the data.

Barcode prefix standards code#

In order to distinguish GS1-128 from CODE 128, it is required to give (function 1) following the start code (CODE-A to C).

Therefore, for consistent use of GS1-128 among companies, the standards for the barcode system with the data available shall be prepared by the respective industry and the groups of companies involved. GS1-128 is not intended to represent fixed data, but the data is selectable by the user. The required data is selected and included in the barcodes by users. There are about 100 application identifiers except the above. Following the last application identifier '30', the data representing the delivery quantity is given to show 3 pieces. Following the application identifier '15', the data representing the validity of quality (consumption validity or drug validity) is given to show August 27, '95. In the sample above, following the application identifier '01', 14-digits code is assigned to identify the delivery container (minimum package unit for corrugated cardboard boxes).

GS1-128 Emulation (Linked C1): Specifies that the linked C1 GS1-128 emulation is used. For more information, refer to your symbology specification. GS1-128 Emulation (Unlinked C1): Specifies that the unlinked C1 GS1-128 emulation is used.

For more information, refer to your symbology specification.Ĭode 128 Emulation (C2): Specifies that the C2 Code 128 emulation is used. MicroPDF417 supports the following prefixes:Ĭode 128 Emulation (C0): Specifies that the C0 Code 128 emulation is used. For more information about special function characters, refer to your Data Matrix documentation. If you specify a special function character (such as FNC1 through FNC6) at the beginning of your barcode data, and if the Prefix option is selected, the prefix that is specified in BarTender is ignored in favor of the special function character that is located in your data. When the ECC 200 version is selected for Data Matrix, the following prefixes are supported: Reader Initialization: Specifies that the symbol encodes a message that is used to program the reader system. Macro 6: Specifies that the 06 Macro header (prefix) and trailer (suffix) are abbreviated in one symbol character to reduce the number of symbol characters that are needed to encode data.

Macro 5: Specifies that the 05 Macro header (prefix) and trailer (suffix) are abbreviated in one symbol character to reduce the number of symbol characters that are needed to encode data. Encoding is forced to the US ASCII character set. HIBC: Specifies that the prefix conforms to the Health Industry Bar Code (HIBC) standard. GS1 FNC1 (Manual Check Digits): Specifies that the prefix conforms to the GS1 standard, with manually selected check digits. GS1 FNC1: Specifies that the prefix conforms to specific industry standards as authorized by AIM International. None: Specifies that the data is encoded without a prefix.Īuto (Macro Substitution): Specifies that the appropriate macro prefix is selected automatically. 2D-Pharmacode supports the following prefixes:
