5.6.5 TCI (Text Conversion Identifier)
The TCI parameter determines how the text string will be generated. The TCI is used to
select text, bar codes, lines, downloadable font and graphics. The TCI values can be
determined using Table 9 below. For example, a TCI of “1” for the text string data “012345”
would print the text “012345” while a TCI of “15” would produce an I 2 of 5 symbology.
