Within literal strings all ASCII characters 0–255 dec. (00-FF hex.) are allowed. Quotes (ASCII 34d) and backslashes (ASCII 92d) must be uniquely handled.

The backslash (\) character designates the following character is a literal and will encode into the data field. Refer to the following examples:

To Print

Enter into data field

 

 

"

\"

"Company"

\"Company\"

\

\\

\code\

\\code\\

ø

\

 

 

Within forms, further limitations include that a NULL (ASCII 0) character may not appear within bar code DATA and entry limitations do not provide for a way to enter linefeed characters into variables.

The programmer should rely on the symbology’s specification to insure format compliance and proper implementation. See the AIM web site for specifications at: http://www.aimglobal.org/
