AI Window.

Many of the known AI:s for the GS1-128(UCC/EAN-128) have been included in the software (list below), If it's not included you will be able to make it. Some AI:s use day/month/year and all you have to use, is the included AI Window and just select the the day/month/year from the calendar. Also included is the ISO 3166 Country, ISO 4217 Currency, and if the AI supports any of the above ISO standards you will be able to select it in the AI window.

Pre-defined AI:s in the software

For general distribution, the required minimum height of the bars is 32mm (1.26 In). For other scanning environments, a minimum height of 13mm (0.512 In) is acceptable.

The total physical length of a UCC/EAN-128 (GS1-128) Bar Code Symbol depends on how many characters you encode and which character set you use. The maximum physical length, including Quiet Zones (Light Margins), is 165mm.
GS1-128 Bar Code Symbol must not exceed 48 characters. This includes Function Code 1 (FNC1) when used as a field separator
