The "C" variation of Code-128 uses Code-128 symbols to represent
two digits at a time (Code-128 is made up of 104 symbols whose<br>
interpretation is controlled by the start symbol being used). Code 128-C
is thus the most compact way to represent any even number of digits. The
encoder refuses to deal with an odd number of digits because the caller
is expected to provide proper padding to an even number of digits. (Since
Code-128 includes control symbols to switch charset, it is theoretically
possible to represent the odd digit as a Code 128-A or 128-B symbol, but
this tool doesn't currently implement this option).</p></td>

a number in the range 0-105. The list should include the leading character.The

This encoding can only represent an even number of digits (odd digits
are represented by bars, and even digits by the interleaving<br>
spaces). The name stresses the fact that two of the five items (bars or
spaces) allocated to each symbol are wide, while the rest are narrow.
The checksum digit is optional (can be disabled via BARCODE_NO_CHECKSUM).
Since the number of digits, including the checksum, must be even, a leading
zero is inserted in the string being encoded if needed (this is specifically
stated in the specs I have access to).</p></td>

<td> Automatic selection between alphabet A, B and C of the Code-128 standard.
This encoding can represent all ASCII symbols, from 0<br>
(NUL) to 127 (DEL), as well as four special symbols, named F1, F2, F3,
F4. The set of symbols available in this encoding is not easily represented
as input to the barcode library, so the following convention is used.
In the input string, which is a C-language null- terminated string, the
NUL char is represented by the value 128 (0x80, 0200) and the F1-F4 characters
are represented by the values 193-196 (0xc1-0xc4, 0301-0304). The values
have been chosen to ease their representation as escape sequences.</p>
<p>Since the shell doesn't seem to interpret escape sequences on the command
line, the "-b" option cannot be easily used to designate the
strings to be encoded. As a workaround you can resort to the command echo,
either within back-ticks or used separately to create a file that is then
fed to the standard-input of barcode - assuming your echo command processes
escape sequences. The newline character is especially though to encode
(but not impossible unless you use a csh variant. </p>
<p>These problems only apply to the command-line tool; the use of library
functions doesn't give any problem. In needed, you can use the "code
128 raw" pseudo-encoding to represent code128 symbols by their numerical
value. This encoding is used late in the auto- selection mechanism because
(almost) any input string can be represented using code128.</p>

<td>The code-93 standard can natively encode 48 different characters, including
uppercase letters, digits, the blank space, plus, minus,<br>
dot, star, dollar, slash, percent, as well as five special characters:
a start/stop delimiter and four "shift characters" used for
extended encoding. Using this "extended encoding" method, any
standard 7-bit ASCII character can be encoded, but it takes up two symbol
lengths in barcode if the character is not natively supported (one of
the 48). The encoder here fully implements the code 93 encoding standard.
Any characters natively supported (A-Z, 0-9, ".+-/$&%")
will be encoded as such - for any other characters (such as lower case
letters, brackets, parentheses, etc.), the encoder will revert to extended
encoding. As a note, the option to exclude the checksum will eliminate
the two modulo-47 checksums (called C and K) from the barcode, but this
probably will make it unreadable by 99% of all scanning systems. These
checksums are specified to be used at the firmware level, and their absence
will be interpreted as an invalid barcode.</p></td>
