GS1-128 is a convention for printing data fields with standard Code 128 bar code symbols. GS1-128 symbols are distinguished by a leading FNC 1 character as the first or second character in the symbol. Other FNC 1 characters are used to delineate fields.

When GS1-128 symbols are read, they are transmitted after special formatting strips off the leading FNC 1 character, and replaces other FNC 1 characters with the ASCII 29 (GS) control character.

When AIM symbology identifiers are transmitted, the modifier character indicates the position of the leading FNC 1 character according to AIM guidelines. For example, ]c1 indicates a GS1-128 symbol with a leading FNC1 character.

Standard Code 128 bar codes which do not have a leading FNC 1 may still be used, but are not encoded according to the GS1-128 convention. Standard Code 128 and GS1-128 may be mixed in an application. The SE955 autodiscrim- inates between these symbols, and can enable or disable one or both code types.
