Available values:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| CharsetA | Includes ASCII characters 00 to 95 (0-9, A-Z and control codes), special characters and FNC 1 (code that is used for special purposes). |
| CharsetB | Includes ASCII characters 32 to 127 (0–9, A–Z, a–z), special characters, and FNC 1 (code that is used for special purposes). |

Remarks
Use the CharacterSet property to specify the set of symbols which can be used when setting the XRControl.Text property of a Code 128 bar code. If the characters specified in the Text property are not allowed by the character set, the bar code will display the following error.
Note
To avoid this message appearing for any sequences of chars, set the CharacterSet property’s value to Code128Charset.CharsetAuto. In this case, the char sequence is coded using all three character sets, and it switches between them automatically when required.
