■ Examples of bar code data using special characters (SP, "(," ")," "*") are shown below.
Example: When [AI = 01/data = 9501234567890/Specify to add check digit A/enclose AI in ()]
GS k 74 18 "(01)9501234567890*"
When HRI characters are designated to be added, the HRI characters are [(01)95012345678903].
Example: When [AI = 01/data = 9501234567890/Specify to add check digit A/enclose AI in (), and insert a
space between the data]
GS k 74 18 "(01)9501234567890*"
When HRI characters are designated to be added, the HRI characters are [(01)95012345678903].
Example: When linking [AI = 01/data = 9501234567890/Specify to add check digit A/enclose AI in ()] and
[AI=3102/data = 000400/enclose AI in ()], and separating the HRI characters between the link with
a space
GS k 74 33 "(01)9501234567890* {1(3102)000400"
When HRI characters are designated to be added, the HRI characters are [(01)95012345678903
(3102)000400].
