parse

In supporting barcode symbologies, 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.

Example

Equivalent symbols:

Data:    This is Data Matrix
Options: 
Encoder: datamatrix

Data:    This is ^068ata Matrix
Options: parse
Encoder: datamatrix

parsefnc

In supporting barcode symbologies, when the parsefnc option is specified, non-data function characters can be specified by escaped combinations such as ^FNC1, ^FNC4 and ^SFT/.

Example

Code 93 including a special shift combination (/)A representing !:

Data:    TERRY^SFT/A
Options: parsefnc includecheck
Encoder: code93
