Code128 Barcode
Code128 barcode is currently one of the most widely used barcode. The reason is that this barcode can support the full ASCII character set, is flexible and can support very dense (number of characters per inch) barcode. Under the industry specifications, this barcode supports three different variations : Code 128 A, Code 128 B and Code 128 C. Each of the variations is targeted for specific purposes and switching between the different variations is possible with additional control characters. With the switching, the specifications also cater to an Auto mode to help users create the barcode easily. The Auto mode allows the barcode software to auto detect the data, determine the most optimized variation and, if required, switch between the variations automatically. It is recommended to use the Barcode Generator, the Excel Add in or other tools provided by Aeromium for the Auto mode.

Using this Barcode Manually
Code 128 AThe following table lists the characters supported by the Code 128 A barcode. The first column represents your data characters to be encoded by the barcode. The second column represents the barcode font characters to use. The Barcode Generator and Excel Macros will automatically help translate the data to the barcode font character and compute the check character. The characters for mode (variation) switching are also included in the table below. It is recommended to use the Barcode Generator, the Excel Add in or other tools provided by Aeromium for the Auto mode. This is to prevent human errors when creating the barcodes.

Interleaved 2 OF 5 FreeBarcodeFonts:
Interleaved 2 of5 is a symbology that encodes numbers in even lengths (ie 2, 4, 6, 8,10, etc...) by encoding pairs of numbers in both the bars and spaces ofthe barcode, making a fairly short barcode for it's density. Thissymbology does not require a check digit, but encoding in it can be achore as each bar and space need to be separately encoded (for eachpair of digits there are 10 bars and spaces, either narrow or wide.)
