Composite data
Composite data generally follows the GS-1 standards, however, the GS-1 field
processing and data compaction may be controlled by the setting the GS-1 options for
Composite barcodes.
Function
Composite data
ASCII
[ESC] b @ {information} [NUL]
Hexadecimal
1BH 62H 40H {information} [NUL]
Decimal
<27> <98> <64>{information} [NUL]
Note:
: GS-1 field processing and data compaction occurs when the
barcode is generated not when the secondary field is defined.
Note:
: The secondary field will remain static until it is redefined.
An example would be:
[ESC] b @ [01]12345678901234[11]100909[30]123456[NUL]
The data field is a valid GS-1 identification string.
“[01]12345678901234[11]100909[30]123456” will be processed as:
“(01)12345678901234(11)100909(30)123456”
UPC A Composite
UPC A Composite uses a standard 11 digit UPC A code with composite data and
optional Addenda data.
Function
UPC A Composite
ASCII
[ESC] b A {information} [NUL]
Hexadecimal
1BH 62H 41H {information} [NUL]
Decimal
<27> <98> <65>{information} [NUL]
[ESC] b @ [01]12345678901234[11]100909[30]123456[NUL]
[ESC] b <65> 12345678901[NUL]
The same as above with a EAN 2 Addenda
[ESC] b <65> 123412[NUL]
