GS1Code128 - Barcode incorrectly Rendered as Code128

Using v7.2, the code below is not generating a GS1Code128 barcode, but a Code128. A barcode scanner can confirm it’s not a GS1-128 barcode and should be. If you change the SymbologyType to Symbology.Code128, the resulting barcode would be identical.



BarCodeBuilder b = new BarCodeBuilder("(01)90013670000396(3200)15(11)150819");

b.AutoSize = true;

b.SymbologyType = Symbology.GS1Code128;

b.CodeTextFont = new Font(“OCR B Std”, 16.0f);

b.GraphicsUnit = GraphicsUnit.Millimeter;

b.xDimension = 0.495f;

b.BarHeight = 31.75f;

b.CodeTextSpace = 0.5f;

b.Resolution = new Resolution(1200.0f, 1200.0f, ResolutionMode.Customized);

b.Save(“GS1Code128 sample.png”, BarCodeImageFormat.Png);
