f Use a pair of escape sequences, the first one before the data that is not part of the destination address
such as return addresses, graphics, messages, etc. and the other to mark the end.
g Use Zip Code command when two ZIP codes are being sent. The first ZIP code will be printed without a
bar-code. The second ZIP code in the Zip Code command string will print a corresponding bar-code but
not print the ZIP code. The Zip Code command only overrides the bar-code command for the present
address.
i Use the Å+b#H and Å+b#V commands to position the bar code. Measure the position from the right-
hand corner of the leading edge of the media, not the upper left-hand corner.
