The BCE is operating per the specs noted above, and does not translate lowercase to uppercase. Therefore, the Forms and Bar Code Card firmware must

A change in the BCE to address this minor difference may be implemented in a later version. Note: Exact size compatibility of certain 4-state bar

Users should add additional parsing that examines input data: • Byte 5 for either a "2" or a "3" • Byte 6 for
