What is Code 128?
Code 128 is a high-density linear barcode format used to encode alphanumeric characters. It is commonly used in logistics, shipping, and inventory tracking because it can store a large amount of data in a small space. It also includes built-in error checking, which helps ensure accurate scanning and reading.
What is EAN-13?
EAN-13 (European Article Number) is a globally recognized barcode format used primarily in retail for product identification. It consists of 13 digits that include country code, manufacturer code, product code, and a checksum digit. You’ll find EAN-13 barcodes on most products sold in supermarkets, pharmacies, and convenience stores.
Why is my EAN-13 barcode not working?
If your EAN-13 barcode isn’t working, it’s likely due to an incorrect input. EAN-13 requires a valid 12 or 13-digit numeric code. If you enter fewer digits, include letters, or mistype a number, the barcode will be invalid or unscannable. Always verify that your input meets EAN-13 standards before generating.
