Pawan Verma commented on OFBIZ-10896:
-------------------------------------
[~pfm.smits] , Do you mean to make barcode parameters(type, height, width,
font-type and weight) configurable?
If Yes, I just modified code39 to code128 in this task, Do we really need to
make it configurable for each document as I see most of the barcodes are having
different parameters?
Please correct me if I am wrong.
> Use code128 instead of code39 for barcode generation

>
> 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.
