5.12.6 CODE 128 / EAN 128

Description

Code 128 is an alphanumerical, two-way barcode whose name stems
from the ability to enside the 128 characters of the ASCII table.
An important application of code 128 is EAN/UCC 128, created through
collaboration amongst EAN, UCC and AIM (Automatic Identification
Manufacturers).
The difference between a code 128 and an EAN 128 lies in the use, by
this latter, of functional character FCN1 after the start character.
Through use of data identifiers, the EAN/UCC system allows
supplementary information to be added to packaging units and logistic
units.
The data identifiers are prefixes that distinguish the meaning and format
of the following fields.
