Code 128

253

Example

If you need to print a Carriage Return (hex.0D, dec.13), as part of a barcode,
send ">M" (13 + 64 = 77, see character set table to verify that decimal 77
equals the capital letter "M"). This substitution process can be carried out
throughout the range of decimal values, i.e., ">d" (decimal 100) equates to the
dollar symbol (decimal 36). If the greater-than symbol must be transmitted,
send ">0" (the 0 will not be part of the printed data).

The Code 128 barcode style selection can also be done manually. This is
done by adding a style selection character to the beginning of the barcode
data. Choose code A, B, or C from the table of special characters below:

When a style selection has been made, character data will be translated from
the selected code style to the Code 128 repesentation. See Figure 11 on
page 254.
