Using Code 93’s “Full ASCII Mode”, it is possible to encode all 128 ASCII characters. This is accomplished by using the ($), (/), (%), and (+) symbols as “shift” characters. These characters combined with the single character that follows indicate which Full ASCII character is to be used.

The following property is specific to the Code 93 Extended type and available in the Property Grid under the Symbology property:
