Standard for most barcode labels. Code 128 is a very compact bar code for numeric and alphanumeric strings. It has 3 modes: A, B and C, which encode different range of characters.
Code 128 auto is an exclusive BarDIMM Pro and BarDIMM Box feature that allows you to encode all the 128 ASCII characters without analyzing the string to encode and use the required Code 128 modes. BarDIMM Pro and BarDIMM Box analyze data and switch dynamically between sets A, B and C to provide the most compact code.
Code 128 Auto is fully compliant with the worldwide standard for pallet labels, which uses Code 128 mode B and C within the same pattern (ECR labels standard).
To include special characters like FNC codes or SHIFT, please read the “Code 128 Control Codes” chapter in that manual.
