Figure 28 Code 39 Full 128 Character Encoding

Code 128

Code 128 is an alphanumeric bar code. It is a high-density, variable-length, continuous code, which employs multiple element widths. Code 128 has three possible start codes. The start code defines the code set, Code A, B, or C that will be used to generate the barcode. The Epic 880TM allows the code set to be specified, or it can be select by the printer based on the information in the data field.

To specify code set: [ESC] b <2> <Code>{information} [ETX]

If the first character in the data field <Code> is a start code as shown in Figure 29 below, the printer will print the complete data field from the selected set. Due to space limitations, only ten characters can be printed. The check digit is generated and printed by the printer. Characters are also specified as shown in Figure 29.

To have the printer selected code set and automatically generate an optimal barcode, the value of Code should be the length.

[ESC] b <2> <Length>{information}
