9.3 Bar Code Human Readable Text

Certain bar codes require human readable text and/or extended bars to conform to

specifications. This is accomplished by using specially created TCI’s (refer to section 5.6.5

or table 19) which add the human readable text and extended bars. This section will

provide the necessary information to successfully add these items. This should not be

confused with simply making all bar codes human readable. For bar codes that do not

require extended bars, simply access the data that the bar code is using with a second field

that generates a text representation of the data and insert in the desired position.
