Code 39 is the most frequently used symbology in industrial bar code systems
t o d ay and is ex t e n s i vely used within the Department of Defense (DOD). T h e
p rincipal feature is to encode messages using the full alphanu m e ric character set.
The Code 39 bar code uses four special characters "$", "/", "+". "%" which can be
paired with alphanu m e ric characters to extend to the full ASCII character set.
Standard Code 39 contains only 43 characters (0-9, A-Z, $, /, %, +, -, ., SPAC E )
and can be extended to a 128 character symbology (full ASCII) by combining one
of the special characters ($, /, %, +) with a letter (A-Z) to fo rm the characters that
are not present in the standard Code 39 symbology.
