When (a = 49), b specifies the type of 2D composite element.

Data stored in the symbol storage area by this function is processed by GS ( k   <Function 481> and GS ( k   <Function 482> . The data in the symbol storage area are reserved after processing GS ( k   <Function 481> or GS ( k   <Function 482> .

k bytes of d1...dk are processed as symbol data.

To print Composite Symbology, this function must be executed twice.

• Specify (a = 48), and save the line element symbol data.
• Specify (a = 49), and save the 2D composite element symbol data.
• It does not matter whether the line element (a = 48) or 2D composite element (a = 49) is specified first.
• It is possible to change the symbol data of the 2D composite element (a = 49) without changing that of the line element (a = 48), and vice versa.

The line element symbol data in the symbol storage area is valid until any of GS ( k   <Function 080> , GS ( k   <Function 180> , GS ( k   <Function 280> , GS ( k   <Function 380> , or <GS ( k   <Function 480> : when (a = 48) is specified> of this command, ESC @, reset, or power off is executed.

The 2D composite element symbol data in the symbol storage area is valid until any of GS ( k   <Function 080> , GS ( k   <Function 180> , GS ( k   <Function 280> , GS ( k   <Function 380> , or <GS ( k   <Function 480> : when (a = 49) is specified> of this command, ESC @, reset, or power off is executed.

Transmit the data, except for the modular check character, from the host.

Transmit the data, except for the number system character (NSC) and modular check character, from the host.

Transmit the data except for the modular check character from the host.

The first data (d1) is processed as a number system character (NSC). Always specify 0.

Transmit the 13-digit product identification number, excluding the application identifier (AI) and check digit, from the host.

Transmit the 2-byte data shown in the following table ([Hex = 7Bh / Decimal = 123] + character code) from the host for the special character (FNC1) and symbol data "(", ")". ("+" in the table is not included in the transmission data)]

Data	Transmission data from host
	ASCII	Hex	Decimal
FNC1	{ + 1	7B + 31	123 + 49
(	{ + (	7B + 28	123 + 40
)	{ + )	7B + 29	123 + 41

The special characters ("(", ")") have the functions shown in the table below.

Special characters
Character	Hex	Decimal	Function
(	28	40	Each character is inserted for the HRI character. It makes the HRI characters look nice when used to enclose the AI. The data does not constitute encoded data.
)	29	41

Transmit the 2-byte data shown in the following table ([Hex = 7Bh / Decimal = 123] + character code) from the host for the special character (FNC1) and symbol data "(", ")". ("+" in the table is not included in the transmission data)

Data	Transmission data from host
	ASCII	Hex	Decimal
FNC1	{ + 1	7B + 31	123 + 49

GS1-128 processes the following structures.

Start character	FNC1	AI	Data part	Check digit A	Check digit B	Stop character
Automatically added		(d1...dk)			Automatically added

Start character	FNC1	AI	Data part	Check digit A	FNC1	AI	Data part	Check digit A	Check digit B	Stop character
Automatically added		(d1...dk)							Automatically added

Transmit the data relevant to check digit A along with the application identifier (AI), from the host.

The 4 special characters (SP, "(", ")", "*") have the functions shown in the table below.

Special characters
Character	Hex	Decimal	Function
SP	20	32	A space is inserted for the HRI character. It makes the HRI characters look nice when AI and data part are separated with spaces. SP does not constitute encoded data.
(	28	40	Each character is inserted for the HRI character. It makes the HRI characters look nice when used to enclose the AI. The data does not constitute encoded data.
)	29	41
*	2A	42	Check digit A (1 character), calculated with modulus 10 is added as the data part at the position of *. "*" is not an HRI character, but check digits are inserted for HRI characters.

Examples of symbol data using special characters (SP, "(", ")", "*") are shown below.

The range of data (d) that can be processed in each code set (CODE A, CODE B, CODE C) is shown in the table below. Data where the character field is blank cannot be used. Transmit the 2-byte data shown in the following table ([Hex = 7Bh / Decimal = 123] + character code) from the host for the special characters (FNC1, FNC3) and symbol data "(", ")", "*", "{".

When automatic selection (b = 65) is specified, the type of 2D composite element is decided according to the amount of data (k).

Data (k)	1 – 56	57 – 338	339 – 2361
2D composite element	CC-A	CC-B	CC-C

When CC-C is selected for the 2D composite element with any of the following, specify GS1-128 for the line element.

• When "Fixed (CC-C)" is specified with (b = 66)
• When (b = 65) is specified, and the amount of data exceeds 339 bytes
