Code 128B and 128C Data Field Characters
The data field length for 128B and 128C Barcodes is variable. It is best to limit
field length to no more than 32 characters to minimize the p otential for
scanning errors.
While Code 128C Barcodes will only print paired numeric val ues, you can
send unpaired numeric, alpha characters, and symbols to the printe r at the
same time. The printer will shift from 128C to 128B and vice versa as
necessary to print all of the printable data.
Tab l e 41 lists the available characters for Code 128B Barcodes.
