data length specified via
integer n = nH:nL 1D 6B m nL nH d1 . . . dn
The value of m selects the bar code system as described in the table.
The variable d indicates the character code to be encoded into the specified bar code system. If character code d cannot be
encoded, the printer prints the bar code data processed so far, and the following data is treated as normal data.

Code 93 and PDF 417 are only available in A799 native mode.
