Insert Characters with <Alt>+<ASCII_code>
This method is valid only for characters that are above ASCII code 32. A typical example would be FNC codes that are used to encode GS1-128 barcode data. Labeling software encodes this type of barcode according to standards – normally, you would not have to change anything. However, sometimes it becomes necessary to manually add such character, to label data.
To include Function Codes, enter the appropriate character for a Function Code. ASCII codes of Function Codes are as follows:
FNC1 |
0188 |
FNC2 |
0189 |
FNC3 |
0190 |
FNC4 |
0191 |
To enter a character for FNC1, press and hold the <Alt>
key and type in digits 0188 on the numeric keyboard. Note the leading zero is mandatory. Release the <Alt>
and the FNC1 character appears.
