Overview

The Code 93 Extended symbology is continuous, variable length, and self-checking.

Variants

It is based on Code 93 but can encode full 128 character ASCII using the four additional shift characters: ($) (%) (/) (+)

Invoking

• The data field can consist of any ASCII data.
• When the parse option is specified, any instances of ^NNN in the data field are replaced with their equivalent ASCII value, useful for specifying unprintable characters, e.g. ^029 for GS, etc.
• The includecheck option calculates the two check digits.
