6.1.6.2 Telepen Numeric
Telepen Numeric allows compression of numeric data into a Telepen symbol. Data
can consist of pairs of numbers or pairs consisting of a numerical digit
followed an X character. For example: 466333 and 466X33 are valid codes whereas
46X333 is not (the digit pair "X3" is not valid). Up to 138 digits can be
encoded. Telepen Numeric includes a hidden modulo-127 check digit which is added
by Zint.

character. For example: "466333" and "466X33" are valid codes whereas "46X333"
is not (the pair "X3" is not valid). If an odd number of digits is supplied,
Zint will add a leading zero. Up to 138 digits can be encoded. A hidden
modulo-127 check digit is added by Zint.

Additionally trailing ASCII characters may be encoded by prefixing them with a
