This Code 128 Font Advantage Package is much more than just few fonts. The package includes 18 different Code 128 fonts in 6 different font formats. You also receive the rights to use the Code 128 font tools, macros and source code to help you integrate the fonts into your application. Details of the Code-128 package are as follows:

• Font Tools and IDAutomation Fontware Included - for easy integration into applications, we provide several font tools that are free to use with our fonts. Our font tools automatically format the start, stop and check characters to the barcode font. The following tools are included:
  • Active Reports font library
  • Check digit calculation application with Visual Basic 6 and FoxPro source code
  • Crystal Reports UFL (User Function Library)

• Cross-platform Support - the unique encoding in our font allows cross-platform support between UNIX, Macintosh and Windows® systems. For example, the same Microsoft® Access application or Excel spreadsheet with our Microsoft® Office Macros can be used on Windows® and Macintosh computers that have our font installed.
• UCC/EAN-128 Support - when using our Code 128 fonts for UCC-128 or EAN-128 barcodes, every barcode must begin with a Start C character followed by a (fnc1) "function code one" character. Our Code128() function in our font tools provides an automated method for doing this by inserting an ASCII202 character for each AI represented. Read more about how to encode UCC/EAN in our Code 128 FAQ. UCC-128 and EAN-128 are primarily used for distribution applications and serialized carton tracking. 
• Six Different Heights Provided - The Code 128 barcode fonts are scaleable and should be printed at the correct font size to suit your application and scanning equipment. In addition to using the point size to set the font width, six (6) versions of the Code 128 barcode fonts are provided to support different height requirements. The last characters in the Code 128 barcode font name determines the height of the barcode with the shortest being IDAutomationC128XS and the tallest being IDAutomationC128XXL.
• Human Readable Versions - of the Code 128 fonts are also provided for character sets B and C with your order. Each of these is also supplied in the 6 different heights for a total of 18 different Code 128 fonts. The Code 128 human readable fonts all start with IDAutomationHC128 and include the letter "H" prior to a lower case letter specifying the character set. For example, the font "IDAutomationHbC128M.ttf" is a human readable for character set B with a font height of M for Medium. The human readable format is not as popular as the standard version because the check digit will also appear. Usually, programmers will just print the data that is encoded directly below the barcode printed.
• Industry Standards - Our Code 128 barcode fonts are created from AIM and ISO standards. When printing Code 128 barcode fonts, the size of 12 or greater should be used for compatibility between open systems. If you have a requirement to print barcodes smaller than 12 points, a high quality laser printer with 600 DPI resolution or greater should be used and a barcode scanner that can read barcodes printed smaller than 8 mils. Printed with a 600 DPI Laserjet, we have been able to dependably scan our Code 128 font printed at 6 points with the HHP CCD scanner.
• USPS Support - when printed at 20 points, the IDAutomationC128L font will produce the exact dimensions for UCC/EAN Code 128 required by the USPS special services, which is a height of .75" and an X dimension of .013".  For information about formatting USPS UCC/EAN128 barcodes with our products, refer to the USPS portion of the Code 128 FAQ.
• Canada Post Support - when printed at 25 points, the IDAutomationC128L font will produce the dimensions required by the CANADA POST, which is a height of 1" and an X dimension of .017".
• Easy Function Encoding Capability - Our fonts provide easy methods of encoding functions such as returns and tabs in the barcode.
• Embeddable Functionality - the fonts included with the Developer License allow embedding. Our fonts may be embedded info PDFs, Word documents and other files that support embedding so users that do not have the fonts installed can still print the barcode.
• Data Sheet & Implementation Examples - for more technical information about our Code 128 fonts such as dimension specifications, character set detail and calculating the check character, please review our Code 128 Font Data Sheet.
• Multiple Formats Provided - when you purchase a license for this font, you will receive all versions in a single ZIP file. The manual is supplied in a file named "readme" in the ZIP file. The following fonts are included:
