ISBT 128 Concatenation

In 1994 the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) ratified a standard
for communicating critical blood information in a uniform manner. The use of ISBT
formats requires a paid license. The ISBT 128 Application Specification describes
1) the critical data elements for labeling blood products, 2) the current recommen-
dation to use Code 128 due to its high degree of security and its space-efficient
design, 3) a variation of Code 128 that supports concatenation of neighboring
symbols, and 4) the standard layout for bar codes on a blood product label. Use the
bar codes below to turn concatenation on or off. Default =Off.

Code 128 Append

This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 128 bar
codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When the scanner
encounters a Code 128 bar code with the append trigger character(s), it buffers
Code 128 bar codes until it reads a Code 128 bar code that does not have the
append trigger. The data is then transmitted in the order in which the bar codes
were read (FIFO). Default = On.
