Implementing barcode solutions with our fonts provides a high
level of scalability with operating system, application and printer
independence. Custom BDF, FON, AFP, Xerox Metacode, XES and FNT
fonts can be supplied with the Developer's License and a year of
support. This Code 128 Font Advantage Package is much more than just few fonts.
The package includes 18 different Code 128 fonts in 6 different font
formats. You also receive the rights to use the Code 128 font tools,
macros and source code to help you integrate the fonts into your
application. Details of the Code-128 package are as follows:
- Font Tools and IDAutomation Fontware Included - for easy
integration into applications, we provide several font tools that
are free to use with our fonts. Our font tools automatically format
the start, stop and check characters to the barcode font. The
following tools are included:
- Active Reports font library
- Check digit calculation application with Visual Basic 6 and
FoxPro source code
- Crystal Reports UFL (User Function Library)
- IDAutomation Formulas for Crystal Reports to allow
distribution of a crystal report without the UFL
- DLLs for Windows®
- FileMaker Pro Plug-ins
- Foxpro Program Module
- LotusScript Functions for Lotus Notes, Domino and Approach
- Microsoft® Office Macros for Word, Excel and Access with VBA
- Oracle Reports Libraries and PLL
- Source Code in Visual Basic, C++, PowerBuilder, FoxPro and
JAVA
- C# .NET Class Library
- VB.NET Module
- Star Office Add-in

- Cross-platform Support - the unique encoding in our font
allows cross-platform support between UNIX, Macintosh and Windows®
systems. For example, the same Microsoft®
Access application or Excel spreadsheet with our Microsoft® Office
Macros can be used on Windows® and Macintosh computers that have our
font installed.
- UCC/EAN-128 Support - when using our Code 128 fonts for
UCC-128 or EAN-128 barcodes, every barcode must begin with a Start C
character followed by a (fnc1) "function code one" character. Our
Code128() function in our font tools provides an automated
method for doing this by inserting an ASCII202 character for each AI
represented. Read more about how to encode UCC/EAN in our Code 128
FAQ. UCC-128 and EAN-128 are primarily used for distribution
applications and serialized carton tracking.
- Six Different Heights Provided - The Code 128 barcode
fonts are scaleable and should be printed at the correct font size
to suit your application and scanning equipment. In addition to
using the point size to set the font width, six (6) versions of the
Code 128 barcode fonts are provided to support different height
requirements. The last characters in the Code 128 barcode font name
determines the height of the barcode with the shortest being
IDAutomationC128XS and the tallest being IDAutomationC128XXL.
- Human Readable Versions - of the Code 128 fonts are also
provided for character sets B and C with your order. Each of these
is also supplied in the 6 different heights for a total of 18
different Code 128 fonts. The Code 128 human readable fonts all
start with IDAutomationHC128 and include the letter "H" prior to a
lower case letter specifying the character set. For example, the
font "IDAutomationHbC128M.ttf" is a human readable for character set
B with a font height of M for Medium. The human readable format is
not as popular as the standard version because the check digit will
also appear. Usually, programmers will just print the data that is
encoded directly below the barcode printed.
- Industry Standards - Our Code 128 barcode fonts are
created from AIM and ISO standards. When printing Code 128 barcode
fonts, the size of 12 or greater should be used for compatibility
between open systems. If you have a requirement to print barcodes
smaller than 12 points, a high quality laser printer with 600 DPI
resolution or greater should be used and a barcode scanner that can
read barcodes printed smaller than 8 mils. Printed with a 600 DPI
Laserjet, we have been able to dependably scan our Code 128 font
printed at 6 points with the HHP CCD scanner.
- USPS Support - when printed at 20 points, the
IDAutomationC128L font will produce the exact dimensions for UCC/EAN
Code 128 required by the USPS special services, which is a height of
.75" and an X dimension of .013". For information about formatting
USPS UCC/EAN128 barcodes with our products, refer to the USPS
portion of the Code 128 FAQ.
- Canada Post Support - when printed at 25 points, the
IDAutomationC128L font will produce the dimensions required by the
CANADA POST, which is a height of 1" and an X dimension of .017".
- Easy Function Encoding Capability - Our fonts provide
easy methods of encoding functions such as returns and tabs in the
barcode.
- Embeddable Functionality - the fonts included with the
Developer License allow embedding. Our fonts may be embedded info
PDFs, Word documents and other files that support embedding so users
that do not have the fonts installed can still print the barcode.
- Data Sheet & Implementation Examples - for more technical
information about our Code 128 fonts such as dimension
specifications, character set detail and calculating the check
character, please review our Code
128 Font Data Sheet.
