Examples
Code 128A
To encode the data 'TESTIT' without the check digit manually, simply key in '[ASCII 184]TESTITm[ASCII 187]' and select the FontCode128H3.ttf font. The output is as follows :
Bar Code 128 Auto Program
The 'm' is the check character and its computation is illustrated in the next section below. [ASCII 184] is the start character of Code 128 A while [ASCII 187] is the stop character of Code 128 A.Code 128B
To encode the data 'testit' without the check digit manually, simply key in '[ASCII 185]testit=[ASCII 187]' and select the FontCode128H3.ttf font. The output is as follows :
The '=' is the check character and it's computation is illustrated in the next section below. [ASCII 185] is the start character of Code 128 B while [ASCII 187] is the stop character of Code 128 B.
Code 128C
To encode the data '12345678' without the check digit manually, simply key in '[ASCII 186],BXnO[ASCII 186]' and select the FontCode128H3.ttf font. The output is as follows :
',' represents '12'
'B' represents '34'
'X' represents '56'
'n' represents '78'
The 'O' is the check character and it's computation is illustrated in the next section below. [ASCII 186] is the start character of Code 128 C while [ASCII 187] is the stop character of Code 128 C.

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.

Examples
Barcode 128 Encoding
Code 128A
To encode the data 'TESTIT' without the check digit manually, simply key in '[ASCII 184]TESTITm[ASCII 187]' and select the FontCode128H3.ttf font. The output is as follows :
The 'm' is the check character and its computation is illustrated in the next section below. [ASCII 184] is the start character of Code 128 A while [ASCII 187] is the stop character of Code 128 A.
Code 128B
To encode the data 'testit' without the check digit manually, simply key in '[ASCII 185]testit=[ASCII 187]' and select the FontCode128H3.ttf font. The output is as follows : The '=' is the check character and it's computation is illustrated in the next section below. [ASCII 185] is the start character of Code 128 B while [ASCII 187] is the stop character of Code 128 B.
Code 128C
To encode the data '12345678' without the check digit manually, simply key in '[ASCII 186],BXnO[ASCII 186]' and select the FontCode128H3.ttf font. The output is as follows :
',' represents '12''B' represents '34'
'X' represents '56'
'n' represents '78'
The 'O' is the check character and it's computation is illustrated in the next section below. [ASCII 186] is the start character of Code 128 C while [ASCII 187] is the stop character of Code 128 C.
How to compute the check digit
Code 128AData - TESTIT
| Data to be Encoded | T | E | S | T | I | T |
| Multiply each of the character (the Code 128 value) with an increasing weight. | ||||||
| Check Character Values | 52 | 37 | 51 | 52 | 41 | 52 |
| Weight | *1 | *2 | *3 | *4 | *5 | *6 |
| Sum : | (52*1) + (37*2) + (51*3) + (52*4) + (41*5) + (52*6) = 1004 | |||||
| For Code 128A barcode, add 103 to the sum above | ||||||
| Total | 1004 + 103 = 1107 | |||||
| Check Character (Modulo 103) : | 1107 % 103 = 77 (which is represented by the character 'm') | |||||
Code 128B
Data - testit
| Data to be Encoded | T | E | S | T | I | T |
| Multiply each of the character (the Code 128 value) with an increasing weight. | ||||||
| Check Character Values | 84 | 69 | 83 | 84 | 73 | 84 |
| Weight | *1 | *2 | *3 | *4 | *5 | *6 |
| Sum : | (84*1) + (69*2) + (83*3) + (84*4) + (73*5) + (84*6) = 1676 | |||||
| For Code 128B barcode, add 104 to the sum above | ||||||
| Total | 1676 + 104 = 1780 | |||||
| Check Character (Modulo 103) : | 1780 % 103 = 29 (which is represented by the character '=') | |||||
Code 128C
Data - 12345678
| Data to be Encoded | 12 | 34 | 56 | 78 | ||
| Multiply each of the character (the Code 128 value) with an increasing weight. | ||||||
| Check Character Values | 12 | 34 | 56 | 78 | ||
| Weight | *1 | *2 | *3 | *4 | ||
| Sum : | (12*1) + (34*2) + (56*3) + (78*4) = 560 | |||||
| For Code 128C barcode, add 105 to the sum above | ||||||
| Total | 560 + 105 = 665 | |||||
| Check Character (Modulo 103) : | 665 % 103 = 47 (which is represented by the character 'O') | |||||
