The regular Code 39 barcode symbology supports only 43 characters. If you wish to encode other ASCII characters then 'Extended Code 39' must be used.
Extended Code 39 obtains the additional characters by combining two regular Code 39 characters, the barcode decoder interprets the character pair as a single ASCII character. The table below lists the pairs required to encode the whole 128 ASCII character set.
For example if you wished to encode the ASCII BEL character you would use the $G pair. The barcode decoder will interpret $G as a BEL.
Many characters retain their original encoding- SPACE, all numerics and all Capital Alpha characters.
Lower case Alpha, control and most symbol characters MUST be encoded.
The 4 characters % $ / + NEED not be encoded UNLESS they are followed by an Alphabetic character. However we feel it better to encode these characters to avoid potential errors in decoding where subsequent editing of the character field might produce an ambiguous combination.
