GS1-128 Barcode Subset B

We have the requirement to create a GS1-128 barcode in subset B and want to use one of the following products:
Streaming Barcode Server for IIS
Dynamic Barcode Generator Subscription SaaS

Can it be done?

The difference between the products mentioned is that a client hosts the Streaming Barcode Server for IIS and the Dynamic Barcode Generator Subscription SaaS is the same product hosted by IDAutomation.

Example:
Encoding Method: Direct ASCII Method (using Ê)
AI (Application Identifier): 420
AI’s Data: L5H3B6

Using the live streaming demo the barcode is formed with the following parameters:
D= Ê420L5H3B6
CS= 2 (Code 128 subset B)
ST= F (Show Text set to False, since it shows Ê in human-readable (HR) text*)
IR= 200 (Optional – to make barcode Image Resolution higher and increase barcode size)

Resulting Barcode Image (contains URL link when clicked – some browsers/interfaces may replace Ê with the equivalent %C3%8A – the watermark is a because we are using a demo product):
image

*It is generally recommended that the user add an additional text field under the barcode in their interface to show the desired HR text.

The image is a properly encoded GS1-128 subset B barcode and scans** correctly as ]C1420L5H3B6, where ]C1 is the correctly decoded FNC1.

**To see the FNC1, the scanner must be set to decode the symbol (refer to the respective scanner manual for further details). When generating GS1 symbols, IDAutomation recommends testing the result with the Barcode Decoder App which parses out GS1 data to verify proper encoding.
