'Code 128B has 5 main parts to it. The first part is a start character(211214), followed by DataCharcters. The Data
'Characters are followed by a check(or Checksum) Character, and that is followed by a stop Character(2331112)
'The last part of Code 128B is the two quiet sections at the front and back of the barcode. These are 10 dimensions
'Long(I am thinking that is 11 modules long). Each character is 11 modules long, except the stop character which is
