Hey guys, I’m currently evaluating the software and I’m trying to figure out what the GS1 Application Header is that LightBurn uses when it makes the code. Certain barcode software use ~ or \F and others use F1 or FNC1. None of those decode correctly when checked with a GS1 code verification scanner. If someone knows it, please respond in this thread.
There’s an ongoing discussion here about GS1 barcodes:
Ok, I’m back with good news. Please checkout this build:
https://release.lightburnsoftware.com/LightBurn/private/GS1_Support/
There’s is now an “Input Mode” option with the options for Data, Unicode, and GS1
DataMatrix, QRCode, and Aztec now all support GS1 mode, plus there’s now a “Code 128 GS1” variant. Annoyingly, based on the way the library we used worked, I can’t just specify GS1 input mode with Code 128 selected. You have to select the special Code 128 GS1 variant.
Also, data input may be different than what you are used to.
- You do NOT need to include the initial FNC1/GS1 character as it will be automatically added for you.
- Application Identifiers need to be surrounded in square brackets. So, for example: [01]04068986021866[21]10114644 instead of 01040689860218662110114644
Please let me know if you have any questions or issues when trying this out.
