If you want a caret to actually appear on the label, place a caret before

every caret you want printed. For example, ^^ prints one caret, and
^^^^ prints two carets.

When the version of CODE128 is selected in the printer command file,
the printer takes care of inserting the correct start character and stop

character for the version of CODE128 selected. Only visible characters
are centered and printed under the bar code.

Specifying CODE128 without the A, B, or C modifier will cause the

printer to automatically select and shift among the three symbology
versions for optimum data compression, resulting in the smallest

possible bar code.

Example 1

Print the CODE128A bar code ABCD followed by a

BELL character and a carriage return character.

! 0 120 115 1

BARCODE CODE128A 152 62 20 ABCD^07^13

STRING 12X16 149 12 CODE 128A

END

Example 2

Print the CODE128B bar code ABCD1234. To

keep the bar code width as small as possible
without automatic mode switching, use ^35 to

switch to code C right before the 1234 part of the
string.

! 0 120 115 1

BARCODE CODE128B 132 62 20 ABCD^351234

STRING 12X16 132 12 CODE128B

END

Example 3

Print the CODE128C bar code 1234567.
CODE128C is a double digit bar code, printing the

same bar code number in half the width as
CODE128A. Because it is a double digit bar code,

it will accept an even number of digits only.

! 0 120 115 1

BARCODE CODE128C 152 66 20 12345678

STRING 12 X 16 140 22 CODE 128C

END
