built into the printer; see table below. As an example, to encode FNC2 into a Code128
Subset A bar code, send the ASCII & (DEC 38, HEX 26) followed by an ASCII B (DEC 66,
HEX 41). Code FNC2 will be encoded.
ASCII 2 CHAR CODE A CODE B CODE C
96 &A FNC3 FNC3 -NA-
97 &B FNC2 FNC2 -NA-
98 &C SHIFT SHIFT -NA-
99 &D CODEC -NA- -NA-
100 &E CODEB FNC4 -NA-
101 &F FNC4 CODEA CODEA
102 &G FNC1 FNC1 FNC1
Table G-6: Special Character Handling
Control Codes: Control character encoding into Code 128 Subset A by sending these
control codes:
` = NUL
a through z
= 1 - 26
{
= ESC
|
= FS
}
= GS
~
= RS
ASCII 127
= US
The following example prints a Code128 Auto bar code:
<STX>L
D11<CR>
1W1J000000025002512345&G10Z2133021AK<CR>
121100000000100Barcode W1J<CR>
E
Barcode W1J
When scanned this bar code will decode as follows:
[C]1234[B]5[F1]10Z2 [C]133021[B]AK(95)
