Description

The only difference between both types of barcodes is the initial sequence.
Code 128 starts with Code A, Code B or Code C followed by character
information. Barcode EAN 128 requires the code FNC1 between Startcode
and character information. The Code 128 translation table remains valid. The
checksum of EAN 128 is calculated using Code 128 algorythm.

Example

10 LPRINT CHR$(27);"[?11~";

20 LPRINT CHR$(26);" T3;111";CHR$(25);

30 LPRINT CHR$(20);"1234ABCD";CHR$(20);

40 LPRINT CHR$(27);"[?10~"

On barcodes, the printer expects the check number as the first figure. This is
