GS1-128 (formerly UCC/EAN-128) CC-A, CC-B and CC-C Composite Barcodes - .NET Windows Forms
This Symbology is also known as GS1-128
Composite Barcode, GS1-128 CC-A (CCA), GS1-128 CC-B (CCB), GS1-128 CC-C (CCC),
GS1-128 Composite A, GS1-128 Composite B, GS1-128 Composite C, GS1-128 2D
Composite, GS1-128 Composite Component A, GS1-128 Composite Component B,
GS1-128 Composite Component C
This Barcode Symbology is supported by the following
Neodynamic products:
Overview
 In Barcode Composite Symbology,
the linear component encodes the item's primary identification while the
adjacent 2D Composite Component (abbreviated as CC) encodes supplementary data,
such as a batch number and expiration date. The Composite Symbol always
includes a linear component so that the primary identification is readable by
all scanning technologies. The Composite Symbol always includes a multi-row 2D
Composite Component that can be read with linear- and area-CCD scanners, and
with linear and rastering laser scanners. The 2D Composite Component is printed
above the linear component and both are separated by a separator pattern. GS1-128 Composite Barcode is an GS1-128 linear barcode linked
to a 2D barcode called CC-A or CC-B or CC-C.

GS1-128 (formerly UCC/EAN-128)
Symbology is a subset of the more general Code 128 Symbology. By agreement
among AIM, Inc., GS1 (EAN International and the UCC), use of the Function 1
Character (FNC1) in Code 128 Symbols in the first symbol character position
following the Start Character has been reserved exclusively for the GS1 System.
GS1-128 was developed to provide a worldwide format and standard for exchanging
common data between companies. While other barcodes simply encode data with no
respect for what the data represents, GS1-128 encodes data and encodes what
that data represents.
-
The 2D Composite Component that can be liked to GS1-128 can be one of
the following depending on the amount of supplementary data to be encoded:
-
CC-A:
it is a variant of MicroPDF417 barcode and the smallest of the 2D Composite
Components which can encode up to 56 digits.
-
CC-B:
it is a subset of MicroPDF417 barcode which can encode up to 338 digits.
Encoding systems normally automatically select CC-B when the data to be encoded
exceeds the capacity of CC-A.
-
CC-C: it is a PDF417 barcode which can encode up to 2361 digits(the
greatest data capacity of the Composite Symbols). CC-C can be used as a 2D
Composite Component within a GS1-128 Composite Symbol only.

In order to get GS1-128 CC-A, CC-B and CC-C Composite Barcode
images, please follow these steps:
-
Set the Symbology property to GS1128CCA or GS1128CCB or GS1128CCC
-
Setting up dimensions and quiet zones:
-
Set the BarWidth and BarHeight
properties per your requeriments (By default, values are expressed in Inches)
-
Set the BarRatio property to 3
-
Set the Code
property with the primary and secondary values separated by | char (See example
below).
-
Set the Text property to the Secondary Data which was encoded into the
2D Component

Set the Symbology property to GS1128CCA or GS1128CCB or GS1128CCC
-
Setting up dimensions and quiet zones:
All values for barcode dimensions are expressed
in INCHES by default. However, Barcode Professional supports other unit
of measurement such as Millimeter, Centimeter, and Mils.
For modifying the unit of measurement for barcoding, please set up the BarcodeUnit
property as needed.
