CODE128 | This bar code consists of 103 bar code characters | |
| and three code sets, enabling 128 ASCII code | |
| characters to be printed. It has a variable length | |
| of columns. |
|
| • Code set A ASCII characters 00H - 5FH can be | |
|
| represented. |
| • Code set B | ASCII characters 20H - 7FH can be |
|
| represented. |
| • Code set C | |
|
| be represented by one character. |
In addition to the above characters, special characters are available.
• The code set following a code set select character (CODE A, CODE B, CODE C) is switched to code set A, B, or C.
• Function characters (FNC1, FNC2, FNC3, FNC4):
How the function characters are used depends on each application.
When sending print data, note these points:
(1)Each string of bar code data must begin with a code set select character (CODE A, CODE B, or CODE C), which selects the first code set to use.
(2)Every special character is specified by a combination of two characters: a brace “{” followed by one character. A brace “{” itself is sent twice consecutively.
