Some barcodes format support full 128 characters set, from ASCII code 0 to ASCII code 127 (bar codes Extended 39, Extended 93, 128A, 128 auto, EAN/UCC 128 and 2D barcodes). If you want to print special characters (ASCII code <32) with those barcodes, a "Transparent Print Data" PCL sequence (&p#X, where # is replaced with the number of following data bytes to put in barcode) must follow immediately the font selection sequence. This is the only way to know how many characters have to be printed as barcodes. Please analyze the sample Code EAN/UCC128 test files for more information.
