Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-10896:
--------------------------------------
It seems to me that the parameters regarding the barcode (type, height, width, font-type and weight) are configurable elements that can change based on business requirements and as thus should be treated as data that can differ not only per document applied to, but also per internal organisation/tenant. The patch file does not reflect that.
> Use code128 instead of code39 for barcode generation

>
> While researching on OFBIZ-10743, I have found that currently, we are using code39 to generate barcodes but there are some limitations of code39 as it only able to encrypt letters from A to Z, digits from 0 to 9 and an additional set of special characters – “. $ % + – / *”.
>
> To enhance the support for more characters in barcode I would suggest using code128 instead of code39.
>
> Below are some of the advantages of code128:
> # code128 supports all the 128 ASCII symbols.
> # code128 standard is more concise and space-efficient. It also provides its users with higher degrees of data security.
> I will upload a patch soon for the improvement.
