Exactly how do I code a UCC128 string for the printer?

[Jack]

I see how code 128 strings are formatted for sent to the printer. I
want to see an explict example of UCC/GS1 128 in a string to send to
the printer. I can't see where FNC_1 is supposed to go. As you might
guess I am a novice at bar code lables. I am very frustrated at the
lack of clear examples of UCC 128.

Currently I am using a ST9530N micr printer from source technology.
Previously it was a Lexmark ???. The PCL we are using in the code
looks to be from Lexmark as far as I can tell. In the code we are
creating code 128, 2 of 5 and 3 of 9 without problem. The start codes
for 128 or the others is working. When I look for specific examples of
what the string should look like for a generic PCL UCC 128 string I
really don't seem to find anything. Most examples are proprietary to
some 3rd party software.

I'm sure the answer is simple I'm just not experienced enougth with
barcoding to see it.
