consume half as much space as they would using Subsets A or B. If TCI 40 is selected, the

printer will automatically decide which subset is most efficient and insert the appropriate shift

character. It is also possible to manually change the subset by using TCI=41. Please note that

the correct rules must be followed to prevent and incorrect bar code.

Codabar (Rationalized Codabar), TCI=42

The Codabar bar code is typically used to identify air shipping containers, library items and

blood information. It can encode the characters 0 through 9, -$:.+ABCD and four different

start/stop characters.

Code 93, TCI=43

Code 93 is a high density, full alphanumeric, variable length, bar code. Through the use of

reserved shift characters, it can encode all of the first 128 ASCII characters.

AS-10, TCI=44

AS-10 is not widely used. It is variable length and encodes the numeric values 1234567890

only.

PDF-417, TCI=46

PDF-417 is a two dimensional bar code.
