This 2D barcode can currently only be used in documents that will be printed using either the Optimized
Postscript or Windows Printing mode (printer centric mode will be added in a future release).
This barcode supports the full ASCII character set based on the 3 alphabets used in the Code128 barcode
(see below). A maximum of 5 characters per row over 16 rows is permitted. If the first 4 characters in the
data are numeric, a 'SwitchC' character is automatically added before the data. Special characters within
the data can be used to switch alphabets in the same way as with the Code 128 barcode.
The selected barcode mode determines the starting codeset and leading character:
Automatic: The codeset and leading character are selected automatically.
Mode 0: Selects codeset A.
Mode 1: Selects codeset B.
Mode 2: Selects codeset C.
Mode 3: Selects codeset B and sets the leading character to’Fnc1’.
Mode 4: Selects codeset C and sets the leading character to’Fnc1’.
Mode 5: Selects codeset C and sets the leading character to’Shift B’.
Mode 6: Selects codeset C and sets the leading characters to two successive’Shift B’ characters.
Bar width is set using millimeters and corresponds to the minimum barcode width.
Code 39
The following characters are valid for this barcode:
Digits: 0 to 9.
Upper case letters: A to Z.
Symbols: space, - (hyphen), $(dollar), / (slash), + (plus),% (percent), * (star),. (period).
To go beyond the 44 basic characters listed above, you may use extended ASCII characters (granted that
scanners are programmed for this, otherwise extended characters will simply be read as basic characters).
