ISBT128 LABELING STANDARD FAQs




Will ISBT 128 labels be readable with most bar code reading technology?

If the scanner you are using is relatively modern (within the last 10 years or so) you should have no problems. "Legacy" scanners should be tested well in advance of ISBT 128 implementation. Scanners may be tested for compatibility with Code 128 by following the operator's manual for the scanner. In addition, ISBT 128 requires that every data element that is bar coded must also appear in an eye readable format. Therefore, the information will always be available even if, for some reason, the scanner cannot read the bar code.
