Code 16k is a stacked barcode of the type illustrated below

Code 16k encodes characters using a reverse video version of Code 128. Each row starts and ends with a UPC digit, which indicates the row number and the direction of scan.
Each row encodes 5 data characters and the Code 128 type C mode is used for numeric-only strings. A maximum of 16 rows are permitted.
Code 16k has three coding schemes and permit the inclusion of special characters not present on the keyboard. If no coding scheme is specified scheme B is used by default. Scheme C is used for any code, which has numbers in the first four digits. An alternative scheme may be selected within dBarcode-2D from the allowed modes:
