Example
If you need to print a Carriage Return (hex.0D, dec.13), as part of a barcode, you need to
send ">M" (13 + 64 = 77, see character set table to verify that decimal 77 equals the capi-
tal letter "M"). This substitution process can be carried out throughout the range of deci-
mal values, i.e., ">d" (decimal 100) equates to the dollar symbol (decimal 36). If the grea-
ter-than symbol itself 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:
Special Character Code 128
">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 selec-
ted code style to the
Code 128
repesentation. The translation table on the following page
summarizes this:
