Tally Genicom 6600 manual Special Characters Code

Code 128

Example

If you need to print a Carriage Return (hex.0D, dec.13), as part of a barcode, send ">M" (13 + 64 = 77, see character set table to verify that decimal 77 equals the capital letter "M"). This substitution process can be carried out throughout the range of decimal values, i.e., ">d" (decimal 100) equates to the dollar symbol (decimal 36). If the greater-than symbol must be transmitted, send ">0" (the 0 will not be part of the printed data).

The Code 128 barcode style selection can also be done manually. This is done by adding a style selection character to the beginning of the barcode data. Choose code A, B, or C from the table of special characters below:

Table 45. Special Characters

Special	Code 128
Character
“>0	30 (“<“)
“>1”	95
“>2”	96
“>3”	97
“>4”	98
“>5”	99 (Code C)
“>6”	100 (Code B)
“>7”	101 (Code A)
“>8”	102

When a style selection has been made, character data will be translated from the selected code style to the Code 128 repesentation. See Figure 11 on page 254.
