Description of Code 39 Extended
Code 39 Extended is an extended version of Code 39 that supports the ASCII character set. So with Code 39 Extended you can also code the 26 lower letters (a-z) and the special characters you have on your keyboard. The additional characters (e.g. lower case letters) are created using the existing characters of Code 39 by combining two characters each.
