BAR CODE INFORMATION
258 Copyright © 2006, Cognitive.
Postnet uses a start and stop bar and a modulo 10 check digit. Cognitive
printers automatically calculate and add this digit to the code.
CODE128 A, B, C
CODE128 uses 106 unique characters in three character sets to
represent the numerals 0 through 9, the English alphabet in both upper
and lowercase, some punctuation, and some special characters.
Cognitive Solutions printers automatically calculate and add the
checksum character, as well as any required start and stop characters.
CODE128A, CODE128B, and CODE128C are the three character sets
of the CODE128 symbology.
CODE128A can encode punctuation, the digits 0 through 9, the English
alphabet in uppercase only, the standard ASCII control codes, and the
special characters shown in Table 2.
CODE128B can encode punctuation, digits 0 through 9, the English
alphabet in both upper and lowercase, and the special characters in the
table following.
CODE128C is numeric only, and encodes numbers 00 through 99 plus
the special characters shown in the table. It encodes numbers more
efficiently than CODE128A or CODE128B, since the numbers are
encoded as double digits.
Cognitive printers can handle special characters like the bell character
that are contained in the CODE128 specification by using the caret (^)
character followed by the two digit number of the character to be
printed. The caret character works only with numbers between 0 and
38. The first 32 characters (0 to 31) will print the character represented
by its ASCII number; for instance, ^07 will print the BELL character
and ^13 will print the carriage return character. The two digit numbers
from 32 to 38 will print the special characters shown below.
