I: inverted (180°)
B: bottom up rotation (270°)
a is a whole number between 1 and 9999 81 and indicates the height of the bar-code, expressed in
dots 82 .
h is the letter Y 83 if printing of the human readable field is desired, N if not.
p is the letter Y (yes) or N 84 (no). If the human readable field is desired (when h=Y) it is possible to
position it above (p=Y) or below (p=N).
c is the letter Y (yes) or N 85 (no). Y if the check digit is to be added, N if not.
m is the letter N or U depending on whether the UCC Case 86 (U) mode is selected or not (N).
Code 128 - Subset B
Since subset B is the most common, it is the one chosen by default if no default subset selection
code is chosen (see table 4 on page 24).
Subset B accepts all alphanumeric characters with the exception of those higher than 94 and the
characters ^, > (30), ~ (94) in table 2 on page 23, for which the subset selection characters in table 3
on page 24 must be used.
Code 128 - Subset A e C
Subsets A and C accept only pairs of numerals.
In the first case (Subset A), the letter corresponding to the pair of numerals as listed in table 2 on
page 23 is coded, while in the second (Subset C), the numbers are coded as is.
Therefore, for the codes listed in table 2 on page 23, even alphanumeric characters can be coded
with subset A, whereas they cannot be with subset C. In fact, alphanumeric characters are ignored in
this last subset. If the letter is in the first position of a pair of characters (e.g. A1), it is simply
ignored, and if the letter is in the second position (e.g. 1A) the entire pair is invalidated.
In the case of subset C, there must be an even number of digits, and thus, if there is an odd number
of digits, there are different outcomes depending on whether the check digit set by parameter c has
been enabled. If it is enabled, check digit makes the number of digits balance, and if not, the excess
amount is lopped off.
If check digit is enabled and the number of digits is even, it is not printed because, if it were, the
even number of digits would be upset.
^BEr,a,h,p (EAN 13)
This bar-code accepts only numerals, is fixed in length (12 digits), the 13
th
is check digit (which
CZL automatically calculates), and the ratio is fixed (see table 8 on page 49).
81
The default value is that of the last ^BY command (page 19) received.
82 See note 5 on page 9.
83 Default value.
84 Default value. If the UCC Case mode is used, the default value is Y.
85 Default value.
86
When the UCC Case mode is selected, the Code 128 length becomes the set length (19 characters), accepts only
numerals, and subset C is automatically selected with the value FNC1. Characters beyond the first 19 are eliminated and,
if there are less than 19 characters, as many zeroes are added as missing in the least significant position (on the right).
