Encoding special ascii characters

In BarcodeMaker, the caret character is used to escape ascii numbers if you want to encode a special character. For example, if you wanted to encode a line break, ascii character number 10, you would put "^010" into your data and a line break would be inserted.

So what if you want to actually encode the caret character itself?

If you want to encode a caret character, you can't put the caret character in your data directly, because BarcodeMaker expects three digits to always follow. Instead, you have to put ^094 (94 is the ascii number for a caret).

In certain barcodes, you can turn this feature off, so that ascii characters aren't parsed in this way. Look in the category "Parsing", and deselect "Enable ASCII Parsing" to turn this off.
