CODE16K
CODE16K is a multi-row symbology based on CODE128. It offers the
features of CODE128 with the added density of a two-dimensional bar
code. Each CODE16K symbol consists of from two to sixteen rows.
Each row consists of a leading quiet zone, a start character, a guard
bar, five symbol characters, a stop character, and a trailing quiet zone.
Rows are separated from each other by a separator bar, and there are
separator bars at the top and bottom of the symbol as well.
As with CODE128, CODE16K has three unique character sets as
shown in table 4. But unlike CODE128, CognitiveTPG printers
automatically select the best character set for the encoded data when
using CODE16K. The user does not need to specify the character set
when programming CODE16K bar codes.
You can encode special characters, such as the bell, using the caret
character as with CODE128. The special character assignments for
some characters differ slightly, as shown below.
