and “ DATA ” strings can be con catenated, al -

sym bol.
FCN2, FCN3 and FCN4 are il legal in code
128 mode C ( p

= 1C) and will re sult in a syn -
tax error.
Please re fer to the Code 128 stan dard for a de -
scrip tion of func tion char ac ters FNC1 through
FNC3 .
“Standard” Code 128 can encode all 128 stan-
dard ASCII char acters (0-127). Func tion char -
ac ter FCN4 pro vides a means of also encoding
extended ASCII char acters (128-255). It di rects
the reader to add 128 to the value of each af -
fected char ac ter be fore trans mit ting it.
