Telepen - bwipp/postscriptbarcode GitHub Wiki

Telepen is an arbitrary length barcode symbology for encoding all 128 ASCII characters without the need for shift characters.

Also known as: Telepen Alpha, Telepen Full ASCII.

Variants:

• Telepen Numeric.

Standards: USS Telepen.

• The data can contain any standard ASCII data, values 0-127.
• When the parse option is specified, any instances of ^NNN in the data field are replaced with their equivalent ASCII value, useful for specifying unprintable characters.
• The mandatory check digit is automatically included.
• Deprecated: Use Telepen Numeric instead. When the numeric option is given, the data is read as either pairs of digits or 0X, 1X, etc. The singular values ^000 to ^016 can also be encoded using the parse option.
