Print barcodes or expanded characters 2
Format: ESC i n ... n \
Creates barcodes or expanded characters according to the segment of parameters ‘n ... n’. For more
information about parameters, see the following Definition of Parameters. This command must end with the
‘ \ ’ code (5CH).
Definition of parameters 2
This barcode command can have the following parameters in the parameter segment (n ... n). As parameters
are effective within the single command syntax ESC i n ... n \, they do not apply in the barcode commands.
If certain parameters are not given, they take the preset settings. The last parameter must be the barcode
data start (‘b’ or ‘B’) or the expanded character data start (‘l’ or ‘L’). Other parameters can be given in any
sequence. Each parameter can start with a lower-case or upper-case character, for example, ‘t0’ or ‘T0’, ‘s3’
or ‘S3’ and so one.
Barcode mode 2
This parameter selects the barcode mode as shown above. When n is ‘t5’ or ‘T5’ the barcode mode (EAN 8,
EAN 13, or UPC A) varies according to the number of characters in the data.
