About

(Also named EAN 128) This complex code allows the coding of the 128 ASCII characters. The result is very dense, in particular for the coding of the numerical values. It is used amongst other things on certain sheet of social security (in France) and certain transport label to register the SSCC number. (Identifier of the parcel)

All the found 128 barcodes on the net (Incomplete demonstration font) aren’t free, several times expensive, and with uncertain quality; the width module isn’t always permanent in the font definition. I’ve decided consequently to draw entirely a 128 font and to propose it for download. I test it on a laser printer with size 17, what gives a small barcode with a width of about 1,7 mm/car, result : reading at 100% ! On a good inkjet printer, we can go down (He yes !) to the size 15 what give a character width of 1,5mm.
