GS1-128 (formerly UCC/EAN-128) CC-A, CC-B and CC-C Composite Barcodes

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

GS1-128 CC-A, CC-B and CC-C Composite BarcodesIn 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.

How to create GS1-128 CC-A, CC-B and CC-C Composite Barcodes using Barcode Professional for

Note: Please refer to the Class Reference documentation for more information about the properties and methods stated in this document.
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.
