Overview

Code 93 is a continuous, variable length, self-checking symbology.

Variants

The basic character set of Code 93 is the same as Code 39, with some additional shift characters ($) (%) (/) (+), and the symbols have a higher density.

Code 93 Extended is a variant that can be used to encode full 128 character ASCII with the use of special shift character combinations.

Invoking

• The data field can hold any of the following:
• Numbers 0-9
• Capital letters A-Z
• Symbols -.$/+%* and space
• The parsefnc option allows the special shift characters to be supplied as ^SFT$, ^SFT%, ^SFT/ and ^SFT+.
• The includecheck option calculates the two check digits.
