i'm having trouble Creating a USPS GS1-128 Barcode

[markriley]

I am unable to correctly generate a GS1-128 barcode suitable for USPS Machinable Parcel specs.

 

I've tried the "MakeEAN128Barcode"

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Try the following solution:

 

You have to do two things:

1) Format the incoming text to be encoded like (420)22021 The Parentheses identify the Application Identifier in the barcode and trigger the FCN1 character to be included.

2) Use FusionPro's MakeEAN128Barcode function. This one is aware of the special requirements and should output the right symbology.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick reply--I have a pdf proof out to the Post Office now, but it shure looked like that did the trick.
