Code 39 uses a combination of numeric values 0-9, alphabetical letters (A-Z), special characters and the additional start/stop character (*). Advantages of Code 128 and Code 39 Barcodes. Code 39 advantages: -*Most barcode scanners are compatible with Code 39 barcodes. *Code 39 barcode is generally more secure and less prone to errors during encoding and decoding than other barcode types. * The character cannot be misrepresented as another character due to a single print error, because the system self-checks for accuracy. code 128 Advantages: - * Code 128 has the capability to encode nearly all special characters. *Code 128 enhances data security and minimizes scanning errors through its encoded data format. * Barcode 128 packs substantial data into a small space due to its compact size.*Limitations of Code 39: - Code 39 barcode is prone to damage and distortion Like other linear barcodes. Due to its large width, this barcode is harder to scan than code 128 barcodes. Code 39 is unsuitable for products requiring high data capacity, as it cannot encode large amounts of information. Code 39 is not capable of storing all the types of special characters. Barcode 39 does not increase data security for encoded data and increases the possibility of scanning errors.*Limitations of Code 128: - To read these Code 128 barcodes, you need high-tech scanners. Printing barcodes with four different width variants for each character poses significant challenges. To print these code 128 barcodes, high-resolution printers are necessary. While code 39 and code 128 are both barcodes, they have key differences. Unlike EAN and UPC barcodes typically used for retail products, these two barcode types are not ideal for items sold in stores. It efficiently encodes large amounts of data in a small space and is used in various applications that require this capability. Code 128 has three code sets: Set A, Set B, and Set C.
