
When using substitution, you must ensure the converted string produces valid
characters for the selected bar code / font.
Sample 1:
<STX>L<CR>
121100001000100<STX>TBCD GHI PQ, TU<CR>
E<CR>
Sample 1 prints SUN DEC 21, 98.
Sample 2:
<STX>L<CR>
191100100100010<STX>TEF/PQ<CR>
E<CR>
Sample 2 prints 12/21.
Sample 3:
<STX>L<CR>
191100100100010ABC <STX>TEF/PQ<STX> DEF<CR>
E<CR>
Sample 3 prints ABC 12/21 DEF, and illustrates a method of
