Codablock  F

Codablock F is a stacked barcode symbology based on Code 128. It can encode the full ASCII character set in a symbol which consists of multiple rows of Code 128 type symbols, using a common “Start A” start character and a common “Stop” stop character. Apart from the start and stop character the other characters in adjacent rows have a horizontal line between them.

 

Each row in a Codablock symbol contains (in addition to the common start and stop characters) a subset selector, a row indicator and a check digit, along with a number of data characters. This enables each row to be read by Code 128 scanners.

Codablock symbols can hold a maximum of 2725 characters, although this value is significantly reduced by the presence of subset change characters. Codablock symbols can have between 2 and 44 rows, and each row can hold between 4 and 62 characters plus the subset selector, row indicator and check digit.

Codablock symbols are character self-checking and may be scanned in any direction. The subtypes used in the symbol are essential identical with those use in Code 128 symbology.
