Code 128 (UCC/EAN-128) Details
<length> can be a maximum of 13 (with alphanumeric/control code data) or
26 (if subset C and numeric pairs are used).
Each subset enables the bar code to contain different characters. Subset
A uses 20-3F hex and 40-7F hex (read by the bar code reader as 00-7F
hex), subset B uses 20-7F hex, and subset C uses 30-39 hex.
The first character of
<data> must specify the subset to be used: A, B, or
C (listed as 87, 88, and 89 hex, respectively). The rest of the data can be
all 256 ASCII characters by using a combination of the subsets. The data
must appear as numeric pairs corresponding to the hex values for the
ASCII character in question.
