GS1/EAN-128 Variable Length AI with FNC1
GS1/EAN-128 Variable Length AI with FNC1
- Use system barcode BC_EANH or a user specific type ZBC_EANH
- Make sure that you configured the EAN-128 bar code format in your print control Prefix as follows:
C=E128,...
- Adjust a placeholder for the FNC1 with the print control parameter %=. Use a placeholder, which is normally not used in AIs - e.g. the exclamation mark %=! or the plus sign %=+
- Then encode the FNC1 using the placeholder (e.g. the exclamation mark):
21 + serial number + ! + 11 + production date.
If the serial number is 1234 and the production date is 010108, the encoded bar code data should be as follows:211234 FNC1 11010108
- Check if everything works by scanning the bar code with a reader. You can also send your bar code (image scan or PDF) to TEC-IT Support for validation.
EAN128 uses FNC1 character on the first position of the code to mark the bar code as EAN-128 and identify it from Code-128. This is done automatically by TEC-IT Barcode Software, so you don't need to do it manually!
