Overview

An arbitrary length symbology for encoding all 128 ASCII characters without the need for shift characters.

Invoking

• In the default ASCII format the data can contain any standard ASCII data, values 0-127.
• When the numeric option is given, the data is read as either pairs of digits or 0X, 1X, etc. The singular values ^000 to ^016 can also be encoded using the parse option.
• 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.
• The mandatory check digit is automatically included.
