Ucc/Ean 128, also known as GS1-128, is to establish a
standard way of labeling a package with more information than just a
product code. It provides supplemental information such as batch
number and "use before" dates.
UCC/EAN/GS1-128 use the Code 128 symbology with Application
Identifier.

Encoding
Ucc/Ean 128 uses the same encoding as Code 128.
Use Caret (^)
The UseCaret propeties is set to true by default which is only apply
to Code128, UccEan128, Sscc18, Scc14, PDF417, MacroPDF417, QR Code,
and DataMatrix etc. where full ASCII is accepted as encoding. The 3
digits data following the caret will be treated as ASCII code, e.g.
^010 is \\n.
For Code 128, UccEan128, if the FNC1 (ASCII 202) is used, human
readable parentheses can be added to the CodeData manually by using
the following ASCII code
^222 = (XX)
^223 = (XXX)
^224 = (XXXX)
^225 = (XXXXX)
^226 = (XXXXXX)
^227 = (XXXXXXX)
The ^222, ^223, ^224, ^225, ^226, ^227 will be transfer to FNC1
(ASCII 202) in the barcode, and the parantheses will be added to
human readable text by the digits. The FNC1 can also be added by
using
^202 (ASCII 202), or
Ê. For example, CodeData
="
Ê0123456789" is the same as CodeData
="
^2020123456789".
ezBarcode will automatically identify AI by using the predefined AI
table above. However, you can overwrite the predefined AI by using
caret (^).
For example, to encode (012)345678, the data of
^223012345678 would be used to overwrite the default
(01)23456789.
