Also known as: UCC/EAN-128, EAN-128, UCC-128.

Variants:

GS1-128 Composite is a variant of GS1-128 that should be used when a CC-A, CC-B or CC-C GS1 composite 2D component is required.
EAN-14 is a variant of GS1-128 that should be used when encoding a lone fourteen-digit GTIN.
SSCC-18 is a variant of GS1-128 that should be used when encoding a lone eighteen-digit SSCC.

Standards: ISO/IEC 15417, ANSI/AIM BC4-1999 ISS, BS EN 799, GS1 General Specifications.

The data field input is provided in GS1 Application Identifier standard format.
Note that it is not necessary to specify FNC1 characters since the encoder will insert these automatically where necessary.
Deprecated. The dontlint option disables GS1 Application Identifier syntax validation allowing images to be generated for input that does not comply with GS1 standards.
Deprecated: For internal use. The linkagea option specifies that the symbol includes a CC-A or CC-B GS1 composite 2D component.
Deprecated: For internal use. The linkagec option specifies that the symbol includes a CC-C GS1 composite 2D component.
