iPhone EAN 128 Barcode Generator Introduction

iPhone EAN 128 Generator SDK is a EAN 128 generator component designed for iOS project developers who need add EAN 128 creation features into their developmental applications for iPhone.

  • EAN 128 generation support on desktops as well as servers
  • Generate EAN 128 on iPhone client apps, without communicating with a server
  • Complete iPhone EAN 128 Generator Guide provided with iPhone EAN 128 generation demo project

GS1-128/EAN-128 is an application standard of the GS1 implementation using the Code 128 barcode specification. The former correct name was UCC/EAN-128. Other no longer used names have included UCC-128 and EAN-128. GS1-128 uses a series of Application Identifiers to include additional data such as best before dates, batch numbers, quantities, weights and many other attributes needed by the user.

 

GS1-128/EAN-128 Valid Data Scope

iPhone Barcode EAN 128 supports:

  • all 128 characters of ASCII
  • values 128-255 in accordance with ISO 8859-1. There are referred to as extended ASCII.


Creating GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128) Compliant BarCodes in iPhone project

GS1 Function Code 1 (FNC1) and the Application Identifier (AI)

OnBarcode iPhone Barcode Generator allows easily to add application identifiers in GS1 128 / EAN 128, by add parentheses to AIs.

For example, to encode AI (00), with data 350123451234567894, with second AI (21), with data 01234567, you need pass string "(00)350123451234567894(21)01234567" to barcode Data property DataMsg

 

How to generate barcode in Objective-C?

  1. Create a barcode object
  2. Set barcode properties
  3. call drawWithView() method, to paint barcode on the canvas.

Sample Code:
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    // Drawing code
    
    OBLinear *pLinear = [OBLinear new];
    [pLinear setNBarcodeType: OB_EAN128];
    [pLinear setPDataMsg: [[NSString alloc] initWithString: (@"(10)12345")]];
    [pLinear setFX: USER_DEF_BAR_WIDTH];
    [pLinear setFY: USER_DEF_BAR_HEIGHT];
    
    [pLinear setFLeftMargin: (USER_DEF_LEFT_MARGIN)];
    [pLinear setFRightMargin: (USER_DEF_RIGHT_MARGIN)];
    [pLinear setFTopMargin: (USER_DEF_TOP_MARGIN)];
    [pLinear setFBottomMargin: (USER_DEF_BOTTOM_MARGIN)];
    
    [pLinear setNRotate: (OB_Rotate0)];
    
    UIFont *pTextFont = [UIFont fontWithName: @"Arial" size: 8.0f];
    [pLinear setPTextFont: pTextFont];
    
    [pLinear drawWithView: (self)];
    [pLinear release];
    
}
