Barcode code 128 symbol structure

Code 128 barcode symbols will include:

a leading quiet zone,
a Start character,
one or more characters representing Code 128 data and special characters,
a symbol check character, (checksum digit)
a Stop character,
a trailing quiet zone.

The image below illustrates a Code 128 symbol with encoding the text "AIM".

The image below illustrates Start character A.

The image below illustrates the encodation of the symbol character value 35, which represents data character 'C' in Code Sets A or B or the two digits '35' in Code Set C.

The image below illustrates the Stop character.

NOTE: The Stop character comprises 13 modules in four bars and three spaces. Every other character is 11 modules wide.

How to Generate, Resize Code 128 Images in C# Class

Copy the following C#.NET Code onto your project to create a Code 128 barcode image

using KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean;

BarCode code128= new BarCode(); 
code128.Symbology = KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.Code128C;
code128.CodeToEncode = "0128"; 
code128.X =2;           
code128.generateBarcodeToImageFile("C:/code128_csharp.png");

Code 128 Barcode Unit

By default, all parameters are measured in Pixel for KA.Barcode Generator for .NET Suite. Other supported units of measure include Cm and Inch. Adjust this property through the following C#.NET setting.

code128.BarcodeUnit = BarcodeUnit.Cm;

Code 128 X Dimension (Bar Width)

The property X dimension stands for the width of a Code 39 module bar, which is actually the width of the narrowest bar. This float value is 1 pixel by default. You can change it with the C#.NET demo code below.

code128.X = 2;

Code 128 Y Dimension (Bar Height)

The property Y dimension is the bar height of a Code 128 image, with the default value being 50 pixels. Please follow the C#. NET sample code below to adjust this parameter.

code128.Y = 55;

Code 128 Barcode Width and Barcode Height

KeepAutomation C# Code 128 generator also allows you to adjust the image width as well as barcode height. Though default value for the two is 0, KA.Barcode will automatically print valid Code 128 image in C#.NET. If you want to customize these two parameters, please copy the sample code below.

code128.BarCodeWidth = 300;
code128.BarCodeHeight = 70;

Please note that once you have input encoding data and set X dimension, you can actually calculate a minimum Code 128 image width according to the encoding pattern specified in the Code 128 ISO/IEC standard. If the barcode width you set is less than the minimum value, KA.Barcode will print a valid Code 128 with the minimum width for image readability.

In this case, you can either assign a greater value to Code 128 or reduce data or X value so the image width goes along with your setting barcode width.
