^BC — Code 128 Barcode

Description

^BC prints Code 128 (USD-6): the dense general-purpose symbology covering the full ASCII set in three subsets. (There is no ^B6 in ZPL — this lesson replaces it.)

Example

^XA
^BY3
^FO20,20^BCN,70,Y,N,N^FDCODE-128^FS
^XZ

Result

A compact Code 128 symbol — far denser than Code 39 for the same data.
