EAN 128 barcodes
Use the the barcode wizard to create EAN 128 structured barcodes. These contain
data identifiers that tell what the following data is (semantic meaning), in order to differ
between f.ex item number from weight and size.
Identifiers and data must ALWAYS be in the order [identifier][data][identifier][data] etc
An example on how to create a EAN 128 barcode is shown below.
Select "New text wizard" from the barcodes menu.
