GS1 Convert 6.2.1
FNC1 that indicate variable length termination will not be transmitted when reading GS1 symbol (GS1-
128, GS1 DataBar, GS1 DataBar Composite, GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 QR Code) label with default
setting. This is because FNC1 is not included in ASCII. For GS1 conversion, in order to analyses the
GS1 data at the host side, convert valuable length data termination FNC1 to ”Ctrl+]” and key outputs
for USB-HID, and for USB-COM and RS-232C, convert to GS(0x1D) and outputs. However, if the last
of valuable length data is AI data, FNC1 does not exist and GS is not outputted.
