Code 39 has no built-in checksum. Code 39 optionally allows for a (Modulo 43) check character in cases where data security is important. The Code 39 extended is a general-purpose code which can code any ASCII character (any character you can enter from the keyboard by normal means). As with the standard 3 of 9 code, data can be of any length. Code 39 extended also optionally allows for a (Modulo 43) check character in cases where data security is important. Code 93 is a variable length symbology that can encode the complete 128 ASCII character set. Code 93 also incorporates two check digits as an added measure of security. Code 93 extended is similar to Code 93 except that it allows the full 128 character ASCII character set to be encoded. 1 PDF417 and MaxiCode can be printed using Optra Forms only when the bar code option is also installed in the printer, and when the accompanying bar code dictionaries have been installed in Optra Forms. 2 All one-dimensional bar code symbologies supported by the Bar Code Card version 2.4 or later can be printed with Optra Forms when the bar code option is installed in the printer, and the accompanying bar code dictionaries is installed in Optra Forms. 3 These bar codes are not available in PCL 5 or PostScript.
