8.3 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, 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.
