- CUSTOM GRAPHICS EXAMPLE
- 1. Determine the matrix size for the graphic. It must be in 8 dot by 8 dot blocks. The example here has six blocks horizontally and six blocks vertically (48 x 48).
- 2. Lay out a grid and draw the image on the grid.
- 3. Transfer the image into a bit map representation and then into hexadecimal format:
- 4. Using the hexadecimal data, send the following code to print the graphic image as designed.
- 5. To send the data in binary format, the software must convert the data into binary format before transmitting it to the printer. Using the BASIC programming language for example, this is done by notation “CHR$ (&HC0)” which sends the hexidecima...

BARCODE, HUMAN READABLE INFORMATION (HRI)
FUNCTION
Specifies the characrter type of human readable information (HRI) for barcode.
FORMAT
<ESC>Dabbcccnn...n<ESC>nn...n
a = Barcode type
3: EAN13
4: EAN8
H: UPC-A
b = Narrow bar width (01 to 12 dots)
c = Barcode height (001 to 999 dots)
n = Print data (barcode data)
d = Character type specification (XU,XS, XM, XB, XL, OA, OB)
n = Print data (HRI data)
Place anywhere after <ESC>V but before <ESC>Q.
EXAMPLE
<ESC>A
<ESC>H0100<ESC>V0100<ESC>D3021204902471006795<ESC>X51234567890128
<ESC>Q1
<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
(4-17)
NOTES
Adds HRI with a specified character type. If data with other than the specified value is set, printing will
not be performed. When the barcode enlargement ratio and character type is large, HRI may be
overlapping each other.
The printer will properly lay out HRI.
HRI for EAN13 and UPC-A requires the following items:
8 dots/mm (203 dpi), “02” and “03” is the proper value for narrow bar width.
12 dots/mm (305 dpi), “03” and “04” is the proper value for narrow bar width.
24 dots/mm (309 dpi), “06”, “07”, and “08” is the proper value for narrow bar width.
Refer to Appendix: Reference Table 10 for additional information.
