What Special Characters are Supported in Barcode Values?

ShotFlow offers two options for Barcode encoding:

• Code 128 is the ShotFlow preferred encoding as it supports additional functionality that Code 39 does not
• Code 39 may be better for extremely small labels, due to lower data density (better readability at smaller sizes) 

Supported characters in each standard:

Code 128 (Recommended):
Upper and lower case characters (a-z and A-Z), numbers (0-9) and the following special characters:

• . (Period)
• - (Dash)
• _ (Underscore)
• $ (Dollar)
• / (Back Slash)
• + (Plus)
• % (Percent)
• whitespace

Code 39: 
Upper case characters (A-Z), numbers (0-9) and the following special characters:

• . (Period)
• - (Dash)
• $ (Dollar)
• /  (Back Slash)
• + (Plus)
• % (Percent)
• whitespace
