Hello.
Our programmer has a project to create a label using bar codes formatted in GS1-128, but our program does not have this symbology. We have UCC-128, which we were told we can use to do the following but it requires some more work and I am not sure how to accomplish it.
What we have to do (example of one line) is create a bar code with a application identifier of 420, followed by 5 digits for zipcode, this we can do and it shows up on the bar code but our supplier requires us to have a start code C followed by a function code 1 and then the application identifier etc. Our barcode now displays the 420 and the zipcode both in numbers and in bar code format but I guess the "C" and "1" needs to be added to the barcode but cannot be visible and we do not know how to add this to the bar code without having that information on display.
This is their exactly resolution answer for our issue from our customer:
Resolution : Postal bar Code should be formatted in GS1-128 symbology with a Start Code C followed by a Function Code 1 and an Application Identifier of 420 followed by the 5 digit ship to zip code from Zone B.
Apparently if you are using GS1-128 it is easy, but it still can be done using UCC-128, but our programmer has no idea how to do this.
Any help in regards to this would be really appreciated.
I hope I have provided enough information to make sense of what I am looking to do. As you can tell I am not that familiar with bar codes.
Thank you.
