I want to barcode a string which contains numbers and may contain a letter. The letter character is typically uppercase but may be lowercase at times. If I use StringtoCode39 function the string 123s1 is read by the barcode reader as 123+S1. I am using Code39RegularF font for the barcode.
Any ideas how I can handle these lowercase characters with code39?
 
Code 39 is restricted to 44 characters. In Full ASCII Code 39 Symbols 0-9, A-Z, "." ,and "-" are the same as their representations in Code 39. Lower case letters, additional punctuation characters and control characters are represented by sequences of two characters of Code 39.

The sequences of 2 characters for lower case letters can be found at:
Hope this helps.
