-----------------------------------
Summary: Use code128 instead of code39 for barcode generation
Key: OFBIZ-10896
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10896
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ALL COMPONENTS
Affects Versions: Trunk
Reporter: Pawan Verma
This has been discussed on [mailing
thread|https://markmail.org/message/2unwynhirkjfradl] over the dev list.
While researching on OFBIZ-10743, I have found that currently, we are using
code39 to generate barcodes but there are some limitations of code39 as it only
able to encrypt letters from A to Z, digits from 0 to 9 and an additional set
of special characters – “. $ % + – / *”.
To enhance the support for more characters in barcode I would suggest using
code128 instead of code39.
Below are some of the advantages of code128:
# code128 supports all the 128 ASCII symbols.
# code128 standard is more concise and space-efficient. It also provides its
users with higher degrees of data security.
I will upload a patch soon for the improvement.
