Code 128 (UCC/EAN-128) Details
For Code 128 (UCC/EAN-128) bar codes, <length> can be a maximum of
18 (with alphanumeric/control code data) or 36 (if you use subset C and
numeric pairs).
The first character of <data> must specify the subset to use: A, B, or C
(listed as 87, 88, and 89 hex, respectively). The rest of the data can be all
256 ASCII characters by using a combination of the subsets. The data must
appear as numeric pairs corresponding to the hex values for the ASCII
character in question.
Each subset enables the bar code to contain different characters. Subset A
uses 20-3F hex and 40-7F hex (read by a bar code scanner as 00-7F hex),
subset B uses 20-7F hex, and subset C uses 30-39 hex.
The following tables explain how to switch from one subset to another and
use the functions.
