USS-CODABAR

USS-CODABAR is a numeric bar code with 6 special characters (-$:/.+) and 4 start/stop characters (A,B,C,D). A
start and stop character must bracket the data sent. The letter C is used to select USS-CODABAR bar code.

A typical data stream for a picket fence codabar bar code with interpretation starting at row 0,column 110 is as
follows:

"A123456B"

A expanded ladder version of the above would be as follows:

"A123456B"


CODE 128

Code 128 is an alphanumeric bar code. All code 128 data must be bracketed by a caret (^) on both sides. The
letter O is used to select one twenty eight bar code. Shift characters and check digits are automatically calculated
by the Printer.

A typical ladder code 128 bar code would be sent as follows:

"^CODE128^"

This would result in a 3 unit wide bar code starting on row 0, column 70. No interpretation is printed.

A typical expanded picket fence code 128 would be as follows:

"^CODE128^"

This code starts at row 0, column 10. The interpretation is included.
