[Description]
・This specifies a bar code image.
・Any data exceeding the right margin is ignored.
・Since the check digit is generated automatically from the bar code data, the check digit
is not sent as bar code data. Since the bar code data is also checked, the data would
not be correctly recognized if the check digit data was present.
・ With CODE39, ITF(I-2/5), CODABAR, CODE128, GS1-128(UCC/EAN-128) or RSS
Expanded, the buffer length for the bar code image is about 22 cm. A bar code
longer than 22 cm will not be printed.
・ The characters that can be printed with CODE128 and GS1-128(UCC/EAN-128) are
the 128 ASCII characters and the special codes FNC1, FNC2, FNC3 and FNC4.
・ Codes assigned to the special codes
FNC1: 86H
FNC2: 81H
FNC3: 80H
FNC4: 84H
・ The control codes and special codes appear as spaces when characters are printed
below CODE128 and GS1-128(UCC/EAN-128) bar codes.
・ Special code FNC1 can also be printed with RSS Expanded. This special code also
appears as a space when characters are printed below the bar code.
