Bar Code Wizard - Prefix and Suffix
The variable element can have prefix and suffix values. The prefix text is placed in front of the
variable’s value. The suffix text is placed at the end of the variable’s value.
Note • If you leave the edit fields empty, the prefix/suffix will not be used.
Prefix and suffix can be used in situations where they are required only if the variable has a set
value. If the variable is empty, the prefix/suffix will not be printed as well.
Using EAN.UCC 128 Wizard
GS1-128 (EAN.UCC) Wizard
This wizard allows you to define the data structure for GS1-128 bar code. This kind of bar
code has different areas of application that include trade items, logistic units, assets, and
locations.
The GS1-128 bar code is an extremely flexible symbology. It allows representation of data of
variable length, and makes it possible to encode several pieces of information in one bar code
symbol. This is called concatenation. An
Application Identifier is a field of two or more
characters at the beginning of a data value. Application identifiers are prefixes that uniquely
identify the meaning and the format of the data field following. The data fields are either of
fixed or variable length, depending on the AI.
