The UCC Serial Shipping Container Code specification calls for a 19 digit UCC/EAN 128 code with an additional Mod 10 Check digit (20 digits in all). The Mod 10 Check digit is calculated the same as the Interleaved 2 of 5 example in Appendix D. It is the data length as well as the MOD 10 check digit that distinguishes the UCC Serial Shipping Container Code from other UCC /EAN 128 bar codes.

Scanning the appropriate bar codes on the RF Terminal Setup Menu enables UCC/EAN 128; or you can use the keypad in the PROGRAMMING MODE “Change Setup” option. If UCC/EAN 128 is enabled, you will be able to read both standard Code 128 bar codes as well as the UCC/EAN 128 bar codes with the Function 1 character and the Mod 10 check character.

UCC-128 Shipping Container Code

If UCC/EAN-128 is enabled on the R/F Terminal reader, all Function 1 codes are transmitted as ]C1. In addition, should you be reading a 20 digit Shipping Serial Container code, the Mod 10 check digit is also compared with the computed Mod 10 value to give further assurance of no substitutions. The UCC/EAN- 128 Shipping Serial Container Code is a subset of UCC-128 or EAN-128 adopted for voluntary marking of shipping boxes with the exact serial number of the box, (used with EDI typically to identify a specific boxes contents. The code consists of the following format:
