Character substitution is performed on every occurrence of the first character specified. If
only one character is specified, every occurrence of that character in the barcode will be
taken away.
The first character will be replaced by the second character(s).
Up to three sets of character substitution can be configured.
Note: The character substitution is performed only on the barcode itself and before the
processing of editing formats. It is not applicable to the Prefix/Suffix Code, Code
ID, Length Code, or any Additional Field.
