Complete Barcode Properties and API
for barcode generation

• all 128 ASCII characters (Char from 0 to 127)

• numeric data (digits 0 - 9);
• alphanumeric data (digits 0 - 9; upper case letters A -Z; nine other characters: space, $ % * + - . / : );
• byte data (default: ISO/IEC 8859-1);
• Kanji characters

• 1-byte character: ~0dd/~1dd/~2dd (character value from 000 ~ 255); ASCII character '~' is presented by ~126
  Strings from "~256" to "~299" are unused
• 2-byte character (Unicode): ~6ddddd (character value from 00000 ~ 65535)
  Strings from "~665536" to "~699999" are unused
• for GS1 AI Code:
  ~ai2: AI with 2 digits
  ~ai3: AI with 3 digits
  ~ai4: AI with 4 digits
  ~ai5: AI with 5 digits
  ~ai6: AI with 6 digits
  ~ai7: AI with 7 digits
• ECI: ~7dddddd (valid value of dddddd from 000000 to 999999)
• SJIS: from ~9ddddd (Shift JIS 0x8140 ~ 0x9FFC and 0xE040 ~ 0xEBBF)

• QRCodeDataMode.Auto: It allows encoding all 256 possible 8-bit byte values. This includes all ASCII characters value from 0 to 127 inclusive and provides for international character set support
• QRCodeDataMode.AlphaNumeric: It allows encoding alphanumeric data (digits 0 - 9; upper case letters A -Z; nine other characters: space, $ % * + - . / : ).
• QRCodeDataMode.Byte: It allows encoding byte data (default: ISO/IEC 8859-1).
• QRCodeDataMode.Numeric: It allows encoding numeric data (digits 0 - 9).
• QRCodeDataMode.Kanji: It allows encoding Kanji characters.

• ASCII values 0 - 127 in accordance with the US national version of ISO/IEC 646
  NOTE: This version consists of the G0 set of ISO/IEC 646 and the C0 set of ISO/IEC 6429 with values 28 - 31 modified to FS, GS, RS and US respectively.
• ASCII values 128 - 255 in accordance with ISO 8859-1. These are referred to as extended ASCII.

• 1-byte character: ~0dd/~1dd/~2dd (character value from 000 ~ 255); ASCII character '~' is presented by ~126
  Strings from "~256" to "~299" are unused
• 2-byte character (Unicode): ~6ddddd (character value from 00000 ~ 65535)
  Strings from "~665536" to "~699999" are unused
• for GS1 AI Code:
  ~ai2: AI with 2 digits
  ~ai3: AI with 3 digits
  ~ai4: AI with 4 digits
  ~ai5: AI with 5 digits
  ~ai6: AI with 6 digits
  ~ai7: AI with 7 digits
• ECI: ~7dddddd (valid value of dddddd from 000000 to 999999)
• ~rp: Reader Programming (for ASCII mode and Auto mode only)
  This should be located at the beginning of the encoding data, e.g. data = "~rpABCD1234".
• ~m5: 05 Macro (for ASCII mode and Auto mode only)
  This should be located at the beginning of the encoding data, e.g. data = "~m5ABCD1234".
• ~m6: 06 Macro (for ASCII mode and Auto mode only)
  This should be located at the beginning of the encoding data, e.g. data = "~m6ABCD1234".

• Text Compaction mode permits all printable ASCII characters to be encoded, i.e. values 32 - 126 inclusive in accordance with ISO/IEC 646 (IRV), as well as selected control characters.
• Byte Compaction mode permits all 256 possible 8-bit byte values to be encoded. This includes all ASCII characters value 0 to 127 inclusive and provides for international character set support.
• Numeric Compaction mode permits efficient encoding of numeric data strings.
• Up to 811,800 different character sets or data interpretations.
• Various function codewords for control purposes.

• 1-byte character: ~0dd/~1dd/~2dd (character value from 000 ~ 255); ASCII character '~' is presented by ~126
  Strings from "~256" to "~299" are unused
• 2-byte character (Unicode): ~6ddddd (character value from 00000 ~ 65535)
  Strings from "~665536" to "~699999" are unused
• Programming for reader initialisation: ~rp.
  This should be located at the beginning of the encoding data, e.g. data = "~rpABCD1234".
• ECI: ~7dddddd (valid value of dddddd from 000000 to 999999)
