Code 93

 

Code93

Code 93 was introduced in 1982 as a high-density complement to Code 39.  It uses two check characters, which are not shown in human readable text nor transmitted to a scanner.

 

Code 93 supports all ASCII 128 characters.

 

Because of its high density, this symbology is recommended for alphanumeric messages.

•

Check characters are computed automatically.  You do not need to enter nor compute them.

•

Control characters, such as TAB or NEW LINE, may be encoded by entering their three digit ASCII code prefixed by a caret (^).

For instance, "1234^009" will encode "1234" followed by a tab character (ASCII 009).
