I am trying to create bar codes for function keys. What bar code format should I use (Code 39, 128) and what should the text look like to perform the function when the bar code is scanned? If anyone has any existing function key bar codes, please send them to me. Thanks.

I use Code93 becasue our scanner (Welch Allyn) adds a Carriage return to code128 for some reason and it can't be shut off.
I use a progam called B-Coder Pro to make these.
It allows you to create any kind of barcode and creates a bitmap that you can paste on your report or whatever.
If you need a couple of them e-mail direct and I can create them for you

Yes you can encode function keys/control characters using Extended Code 39 or Code 128. Note that not all barcode utilities support special character input. Morovia Code 39 and 128 Font products have this feature. For more information visit here:
