Databar Code 128 Set A is a 2D symbology that supports numeric values, capital letters, punctuation, and control codes. It includes additional information such as product weight, serial numbers or expiry dates.
Databar Code 128 Set A can encode partial ASCII set (00-99), all upper case (A-Z), all numeric digits (0-9), no lower case, but ASCII control chars (TAB, CR/LF etc.).
The Databar Code 128 barcode font cannot represent all ASCII characters (128) together. To encode all the ASCII characters together it switches from Set A to Set B. Set A (00-99 ASCII Characters) and Set B (32-127) covers all the ASCII values together. The Databar code 128 set A is an auto switching barcode symbology that enables you to switch from Set B to Set C so that user can encode almost any type of data.
Databar Code 128 Set A also has capability of encoding more data with the help of composite component technology. CC-A and CC-B composite barcode technology helps encoding more data. CC-A can encode 56 characters long data and switches automatically to CC-B when the data increases to more than 56 characters.
Application Area : Generally used in inventory and shipping industry.
