:Writes a Code 39 bar code containing the information “Deluxe”
+ the contents of variable 01 + the contents of counter 2 + the
“Combo” + the current date + the contents of variable 01 + by
the current time.
Bar Code 128 family:
e Code 128 family has three unique data character subsets: A, B and C. e
choice of data character subset depends on the start character representing code
A, B or C. e code subset can be redefined within the symbol by code set
control characters A, B or C, or shift. In addition, a set of special functions are
available via FNC1, FNC2, FNC3 and FNC4. All these can be invoked in the
data field. e human readable part in the symbol, FNC and code subset control
characters will be represented by a space. e input data string is a fixed string of
maximum 64 alpha-numerical characters.
Code 128 with auto selection of subset and UCC/EAN:
Code 128 and EAN128 use automatic subset selection of subset A B or C, both
at the start and within the barcode.
Code 128 with manual selection of subset:
By starting the Code 128 symbol with manual selection of subset A, B or C,
the user has complete control of composing the symbol data output. By invok-
ing special control characters in the data string, it is possible to switch between
subsets or other special cases inside the symbol, see table below.
