7.1.1 HUMAN READABLES
Text conversion identifiers 32 and 33 refer to human readable UPC barcodes. These identifiers are
designed to be used in conjunction with the UPC barcodes, and do not create the actual barcodes.
They represent numerical bottom borders that extend some of the barcode lines. These barcode
human readables must be lined up with the bottom of the barcodes.
Text conversion identifiers 28 and 29 are MSI human readables that do not border themselves with
bar lines like 32 and 33. Their purpose is only to add the calculated check digit(s) to text lines. To
design with these TCI's, select a text character generator number and multiply as with any other
text field. Place this field underneath the MSI barcode. TCI 3 works in this same way but for UPC-A
barcodes. All other barcode human readables only require a text TCI of 1, a user selectable text
character generator, and text positioning under the desired barcode. This field must refer to the bar
code number.
