Code 93
Code 93 encodes the full 128 ASCII character set
using 9 modules arranged into 3 bars with adjacent
spaces. Two of the characters are check characters.
Code 93 is similar to Code 39 but encodes more characters
per inch. Code 93 encodes the full 128 ASCII character
set and is encoded similarly to the extended Code 39.
Append
It is sometimes advantageous to break up long
messages into multiple, shorter symbols. If the first
character of a Code 93 symbol is a space (ASCII 32),
then the scanned symbol is appended to a storage buffer.
This operation continues for all successive Code 93
symbols with a leading space being added to previously
stored ones. When a Code 93 symbol is scanned which
does not include a leading space, it is appended to
the buffer, the entire buffer is transmitted, and the
buffer is cleared.
