The following characters can be represented by the CODE128 barcode.
* SHIFT characters
In the code set A, the character right next to the SHIFT follows the process
of code set B. SHIFT character cannot be used in code set C.
* Code set selection character (CODE A, CODE B, CODE C).
This character converts the code set A, B, or C into following code set.
* Function character (FNC1, FNC2, FNC3, FNC4)
Using function characters depends on the application program.
Only FNC1 can be used in code set C.

* If there is no code selection character in front of the bar code data, the printer
will stop executing the command and the following data will be processed as
general data.
* If “{“ and the following character does not correspond to the certain special
character, the printer will stop executing the command, the following data will
be processed as general data.
* Code selection character and the SHIFT character are not printed as HRI
characters.
* FUNCTION characters will be shown as spaces in HRI characters.
* Control characters (<00>H to <1F>H and <7F>H) will be shown as spaces in
HRI characters.
<Miscellaneous> The empty space on the left and right sides of the barcode must
be secured.
(The empty space requirements are different depending on
barcode type.)
