r 2. ANSI The TallyGenicom im ple m entation of ANSI X3.64 is the native control protocol for the 7265 printer, as it is for a variety of other TallyGenicom impact matrix printer families. The control functions presented here are a superset of ANSI control sets familiar to our customers. For the most part, ANSI drivers written for other TallyGenicom printers should only need to be modified as features introduced on the 7265 Series printers are exercised.

Line/Character Spacing Command ESC [(p1); (p2) G Description LINE/CHARACTER SPACING Sets the vertical and horizontal pitch in decipoints. Parameter (p1) is the spacing between lines and (p2) is the spacing between characters. Unspecified parameters remain at their current values. This command does not affect oversized printing selected by ESC [1t.
PAGE 23
Commands Description ESC [(p1); (p2) G LINE/CHARACTER SPACING p1 = line spacing parameter p2 = character spacing parameter If you select doublewide printing (ESC [5m), then the printer doubles character spacing set by this command. If the designed pitch of the current font is 10 cpi and doublewide is set, then a character spacing argument of 72 results in a pitch of 5 cpi, at which horizontal segments of line-draw characters are contiguous.
PAGE 24
Forms Setup Command Description ESC [(p1); (p2);(p3);(p4) ;(p5)r FORMS SETUP Sets top of form and sets form length, as well as top and bottom margins, in decipoints. Parameter p1 is form length 720ths , p2 is the top margin, p3 sets the length of white space between the baseline of the last allowed line and the end of form. p4 is the top print reference, and p5 is the left print reference Any parameter not specified is assigned its default value. Maximum form length is 15840 decipoints (22 inches).
PAGE 25
Superscript/Subscript Command Description ESC K (PLD) SUBSCRIPT PRINTING Moves paper 1/2 line below the current line for subscript printing. ESC K is used to return to the original line following ESC L (superscript). If 8-bit control code processing is enabled then Dec 139 Hex 8B otherwise Dec 27 75 Hex 1B 4B SUPERSCRIPT PRINTING Moves paper 1/2 line above the current line for superscript printing. ESC L is used to return to the original line following ESC K (subscript).
PAGE 26
Vertical Movement Absolute positions are calculated from the top and left print references without respect to margin settings. The top of a character cell located at vertical position-absolute 0 is at top print reference. The left edge of a character cell located at horizontal position-absolute 0 is at the left print reference. If the default left print reference is current, and if the left tractor position(s) are as shipped, then this is about 0.6 inches from the left edge of the paper.
PAGE 27
Vertical Movement Commands Description LF VT FF ESC D (IND) ESC E (NEL) ESC M (RI) LINE FEED Advances the paper one line according to the spacing currently in effect. Dec 10 Hex 0A VERTICAL TAB Advances paper to the next vertical tab setting. If the current print position is at or beyond the last tab setting, the paper advances to the top of form. If no tabs are set, then VT is processed according to the status of emulation option strap 14.
PAGE 28
Commands Description ESC [(p)e VERTICAL POSITION RELATIVE Advances paper p decipoints. This command enables printing below the bottom margin of the current form and above the top margin of the following form. The example below advances the paper 4 1/4 inches. Example: ESC [3060e Dec 27 91 51 48 54 48 101 Hex 1B 5B 33 30 36 30 65 VERTICAL POSITION BACKWARDS Moves the vertical position backwards to (p) decipoints above the current position. The horizontal position does not change.
PAGE 29
Margins Use the Forms Setup command, page 2-39, to set vertical margins. Commands Description ESC [(p1);6 (p2)s SET LEFT AND RIGHT MARGIN Sets the left and right margin in decipoints; p1 is the left margin and p2 is the right. Distances are measured from the left print reference. This command takes effect following the next line terminator (you cannot set margins for the current line). EXAMPLE: Set the left margin at 0.4 inch and right margin at 6.9 inches, making a 6.5-inch print line.
PAGE 30
Horizontal Movement Commands Description HT CR ESC [(p)a ESC [(p)j HORIZONTAL TAB Causes the current print position to move to the next tab stop. If no tabs are set, then the current position moves one space. If tab(s) are set but no tab(s) are set between the active print position and the right margin, then following characters on the line are either discarded or printed on the next line, depending on the status of auto wrap.
PAGE 31
Commands Description ESC [(p)` HORIZONTAL POSITION ABSOLUTE Causes the print position to move (in decipoints) a specified distance from the left print reference. Example: ESC [360` Move print head ½” from left print reference. Dec 27 91 51 54 48 96 Hex 1B 5B 33 36 30 60 BACKSPACE Prints the data in the print buffer, then moves the print position one character position to the left.
PAGE 32
Tabs This printer stores tab stops in NVRAM while power is off. Therefore, all tab stops should be cleared before new stops are set. Commands Description ESC H (HTS) SET HORIZONTAL TAB AT CURRENT POSITION If 8-bit control code processing is enabled then both Dec 136 Hex 88 otherwise only Dec 27 72 Hex 1B 48 SET HORIZONTAL TABS AT SPECIFIED POSITIONS Sets up to 22 stops at one time. The value of p1, p2, etc. are in decipoints (1 inch = 720 decipoints).
PAGE 33
Dot Graphics Dot graphics allows you to print individual dots at any position on the page and thus to print pictures as well as text. When you enter dot graphics, the printer defaults to a dot density of 72 dpi horizontally and vertically, and a line spacing of 12 lpi. Exiting from dot graphics returns the printer to its prior lpi setting. You can also choose a density of 144 dpih x 72 dpiv. The printer powers up in low density.
PAGE 35
Graphics Control Functions The set of control codes that are interpreted while in graphics mode are shown in the following charts. Bytes less than 32 decimal that are not interpreted as control codes are ignored. The printer processes valid escape sequences within a graphics data sequence. This is potentially useful, for instance, in the cases of the absolute and relative position commands.
PAGE 36
Commands Description ESC [(p1)q GRAPHICS DENSITY Sets the graphics density. The printer powers up with a graphics density of 72 x 72 dpi; changes are not stored in NVRAM.
PAGE 37
Chapter 3. ANSI Bar Codes This chapter describes the characteristics and lists ANSI control sequences for 23 resident bar code styles. You have to be in ANSI emulation to print the resident bar codes. You can adjust various bar code attributes including rotation, height, print density, status of the human-readable line, and element widths. Subject to some constraints based on style and rotation, the humanreadable font is also selectable.
PAGE 38
Before You Begin - Set the Form Length Programmers tend not to trust form feeds and sometimes use line feeds instead to move from one form to another. If there is any advantage to that approach, it is that the vertical move will not depend on the current form length. When printing bar codes on labels, you can greatly simplify your task by setting a form length that exactly matches the length of your physical form and then using form feeds to make vertical moves between labels or rows of labels.
PAGE 39
Setting Bar Code Parameters The ANSI control sequence that sets bar code parameters has the format: Command Description ESC [p1;p2;p3;p4;p 5;p6;p7;p8;p9; p10;p11;p12;p 13} Set Up Bar Code Parameters Determines bar code parameters to be used when bar code mode is enabled. See following sections.
PAGE 40
Values of all the adjustable bar code parameters are stored in NVRAM while power is off. You can restore the bar code attributes to the factory settings by performing an ISU on the printer.
PAGE 41
Bar Code Command Sequences Command Description ESC [3t ESC [0t SO ENABLE BAR CODES Enables Bar Codes with the characteristics set by ESC [(p1);(p2)…}. ESC [3t selects Bar Code mode and activates Bar Code printing.

PAGE 43
p3 - Human Readable Enable An argument of 1 turns on the human-readable line, while 0 turns it off. The default is on. When the human readable line is enabled, it is printed in the font specified by parameter p12. There is 0.1" between the bottom edge of the bar code and the top of the characters in the humanreadable line. Element Widths The default element widths are the narrowest that we recommend for consistent readability. The argument units for horizontal bar code element widths are 1/120 inch.
PAGE 44
Other Parameters p9 – Rotation Sets the absolute rotation in 90 degree increments.
PAGE 45
p10 - Horizontal Resolution A value of 0 is 60 dots per inch, while a value of 1 is 1/120 dots per inch. The default depends on the style in force. EAN and UPC styles default to 1. All other styles default to 0. o o Note: This parameter affects bar codes printed at 0 or 180 rotation only. If you select the higher resolution, then bar codes are darker and are printed at a somewhat slower speed.
PAGE 46
Delimiters A bar code delimiter is a character or control function that tells the printer where one bar code symbol ends and an adjacent symbol begins. Different bar code styles accept different delimiters, which might be spaces, commas, asterisks, horizontal tabs, or horizontal position-relative commands. Valid delimiters for the various styles are listed in the Bar Code Style Characteristics section.
PAGE 47

PAGE 48
Horizontal Tab Delimiter The HT control code (09) is a valid delimiter in all bar code styles. The leading quiet zone of a subsequent symbol begins at the first tab stop right of the trailing quiet zone of the current symbol. This is evident in the sample, where the quiet zone of the second symbol begins at the third tab stop.
PAGE 49
Horizontal Position - Relative Delimiter The horizontal position-relative command is a valid delimiter in all bar code styles except POSTNET. ESC [(Pn)a The argument units for this command are decipoints (1/720 inch), which the printer rounds off to the nearest 1/120 inch. This command is a valid delimiter even when issued with an argument of zero.
PAGE 50
Delimiters and Vertical Bar Codes o o If you rotate a bar code 90 or 270 , then space imposed by delimiters is not rotated, but is applied horizontally, as the sample shows. The symbol dimensions that used to be horizontal are shortened to 120/144 of what they used to be; this includes the quiet zones.
PAGE 51
Calculating Characters per Inch o o We show characters per inch at the default element widths and 0 /180 rotation for each style in the following chapter. All of our numbers ignore the quiet zones; you need to allow 1/2 inch per symbol for the horizontal rotations. Defining characters per inch for fixed-length codes is straightforward in that the start-stop and center characters always take up the same portion of length of the symbol. The styles that have center characters are all fixed-length.
PAGE 52
Bar Code Style Characteristics The following pages show specific information about the various styles. A NULL character is a combination of bars and spaces unique to a particular style that is printed when a nonvalid character is encountered in received bar code symbol data. A null character in the symbol shows up as a diamond in the human-readable line if the HRL is enabled.

UPC-E (Style 14) Ten digits must be entered as input. The first five represent a vendor number and the last five represent a product number. Only 6 of the 10 input digits are encoded in the bar code symbol. The six characters to be encoded in the symbol are determined as follows: If the vendor number (first five digits) ends in 000, 100, or 200, then the product number (second five digits) must be between 00000 and 00999.

POSTNET (Style 50) You cannot adjust POSTNET bar code attributes with ESC[(p1);..(p12)}. All attribute parameters except the style parameter (p1) are ignored by POSTNET, although they are processed, saved, and would apply to a subsequent bar code of another style if not overwritten. To select POSTNET, you need to send only ESC [50}. You cannot print human-readable characters with this bar code style. There are three variations of POSTNET. They are ZIP, ZIP+4, and ABC.

Calculating the Checksum for Code 3 of 9 A 3 of 9 symbol is a variable-length string which can include the digits 0 - 9, uppercase A - Z, and six additional punctuation characters. The values used to compute the checksum for a 3 of 9 symbol are the locations of individual characters in the unique 3 of 9 character table.
PAGE 63
The following example illustrates the calculation of the check digits for the symbol CODE 93. Data Data Values C Weights K Weights C 12 7 8 O 24 6 7 D 13 5 6 E 14 4 5 sp 38 3 4 9 9 2 3 3 3 1 2 "C" "K" 1 1) For "C", sum the products of the (C WEIGHTS * DATA VALUES). (1 * 3) + (2 * 9) + (3 * 38) + (4 * 14) + (5 * 13) + (6 * 24) + (7 * 12) = 484 2) Divide 484 by 47. 484 / 47 = 10 remainder 14. 3) Therefore, the value of "C" is 14, which corresponds to character E.
PAGE 64
Code 93 Checksums for Full ASCII You can send any of the 128 ASCII characters verbatim in a Code 93 symbol. You would not need to worry about Code 93 control codes if you did not need to compute checksums. The four control characters in the Code 93 character table do not correspond to any byte values sent to the printer, but instead refer to “precedence codes” that the printer generates.

(1 * 29) + (2 * 46) + (3 * 10) + (4 * 46) + (5 * 12) = 395 2) Divide 395 by 47. 395 / 47 = 8 remainder 19. Therefore, the value of "C" is 19, which corresponds to character J. 3) For "K", sum the products of the (K WEIGHTS * DATA VALUES), starting with the newly calculated "C" digit.

Chapter 4. ANSI Oversized Font This chapter describes the characteristics and lists the ANSI control sequences for the rotatable oversized font, a unique sans-serif font with character shapes designed to accommodate very large expansions. This is an industrial-strength feature. Horizontal resolution is held to 120 dpi to enable oversized printing at carriage speeds of up to 50 inches per second.

PAGE 69
Commands Description ESC [Pv;PhB SET CHARACTER SIZE Sets the expansion of oversized characters in percentage points. Pv is the vertical expansion and Ph is the horizontal expansion. The parent font is a 10-point font. Dimensions established by this sequence are stored in nonvolatile RAM while power is off. Caution: Any text between receipt of this command and a countermanding mode selection command, either ESC [(Ps)| or ESC[(Ps)t, will be printed in expanded mode.

Oversized Versus Expanded There are two ANSI functions that print characters scaled according to the Graphics Size Modification parameters. Both expanded and oversized are standard features with this printer. You can get into expanded mode accidentally when you send the Graphic Size Modification sequence.
PAGE 71
ESC [(pv);(ph)B where (pv) is the vertical expansion, (ph) is the horizontal expansion, and is the space character (20 hex). o For 0 rotation, you can think of parameter (pv) as 10 times the point size of the oversized character. If you set a 600 x 600 expansion and print an uppercase “E” at zero rotation, then the resulting character will nearly match the 60-point Helvetica “E” on a typesetter's scale.

What is a Character Cell? A character cell is the rectangular array of locations at which dots can be printed to form one character. All character cells for a given monospaced font at a given pitch are the same size. If you print a line of characters with no countermanding motion instructions, then no character cell will impinge horizontally on the character cell of an adjacent character.
PAGE 73
Oversized Character Dimensions – 0o The width of an oversized character cell is 0.72 decipoints times the horizontal expansion factor. In thousandths of an inch, it is the same as the horizontal expansion factor. If you set a horizontal expansion of 1000, then characters will be 1 inch, or 720 decipoints, apart. Figure 4-3 Vertical Character Dimensions The height of an oversized character cell is 0.9 decipoints times the vertical expansion factor. In thousandths of an inch, it is 1.
PAGE 74
Oversized Character Dimensions - 270o The width of a character cell is 0.6 decipoints times the horizontal expansion factor. Width means the dimension that is left-to-right as you read the character. The height of a character cell is 1.08 decipoints times the vertical expansion factor. Height means the dimension that is vertical as you read the character. Figure 4-4 Sideways Character Dimensions The distance from the top of the character cell to the baseline is 0.
PAGE 75
Implementing the Line Feed Function - 0o A good technique is to exit oversized with ESC [0t and send a vertical and horizontal position absolute command: ESC [(Pv);(Ph)f where (Pv) is decipoints from the top print reference and (Ph) is decipoints from the left print reference. The logic seeking of the printer minimizes redundant paper motion associated with position-absolute commands. You could also use vertical position-relative to implement line feeds. Try a line feed increment of 1.
PAGE 76
Line Spacing and Intercharacter Spacing - 270o If you print sideways text, then the vertical move that otherwise corresponded to a line feed now sets the distance from the leading edge of one character cell to the leading edge of the next character cell (as you read the characters). A good starting value for this move is the character cell width, which is 0.6 decipoints times the horizontal expansion factor. Strings of sideways characters propagate left-to-right across the portrait page.

Introduction This User’s Manual describes the sum of all EPSON Escape sequences, regardless of the specific EPSON emulation used by your printer. The only differentiation is made between 9 and 24 needle printers as well as the maximum possible paper width of 8 inches (80 column printer) or 13.6 inches (136 column printer). Please note that the print quality LQ (Letter Quality) is only available in the 24 needle printer.

ESC p Proportional Spacing Data Structure ASCII hex. dec. Description If 1 is specified for n, proportional spacing is ON, if 0 is specified for n, proportional spacing is OFF. When in default font type, all characters are assigned a fixed, equally wide space. When in proportional spacing, the spaces between each character are set to the actual width of the characters; on account of these “proportional” characters reading of the text becomes more easy.
PAGE 107
ESC SP Character Spacing Data Structure ASCII hex. dec. Description The size of the spaces between the characters is increased by n ∗ 1⁄180 inch in NLQ and LQ and in Draft by n ∗ 1⁄120 inch. This space is added to the spaces used for character definition. The value specified for n must be in the range of 0 to 127.

ESC "H" 1B 48 27 72 double strike OFF ➋ ➊ This code sequence switches the printer to double strike mode. In double strike mode characters are printed in two printing passes at the same horizontal position; thus print appears thicker and fuller. Print speed is reduced since the characters are printed twice.

ESC "F" 1B 46 27 70 emphasized mode OFF ➋ ➊ This code sequence switches the printer to emphasized mode. During printing in emphasized mode, each character is printed twice, slightly shifted in horizontal direction. Since the needles in the print head are fired twice (instead of once as in standard mode), print speed is reduced.
PAGE 122
ESC - Underline Mode Data Structure ASCII hex. dec. Description This code sequence switches the automatic underline function ON or OFF. When the automatic underline function is ON, all printed characters including spaces are automatically underlined. The automatic underline function is ON when 1 is specified for n, and is OFF when 0 is specified. Once the printer receives ESC -<1>, all subsequent characters including spaces are automatically underlined until ESC -<0> is received.
PAGE 123
ESC ( - Score Selection Data Structure ASCII hex. dec. Description This Escape sequence switches on and off the underscore, overscore and strike-through modes. The lines can be single or double, broken or continuous. ESC "(" 1B 28 27 40 "-" 2D 45 <3> NUL <1> 03 00 01 3 0 1 n1 = loc n2 = type loc (n1) The parameter n1 indicates the location of the score to be printed.

ESC \ Relative Horizontal Step Data Structure ASCII hex. dec. Description This code sequence moves the print head to a relative print position without regard to the current character density. This print position is calculated according to the formula (n1 + 256 ∗ n2).Each dot, i. e. each print position has a width of 1⁄120 inch in DPQ and 1⁄180 inch in NLQ and LQ. Calculation of the values of n1 and n2 first requires the prefix (n dots) to be calculated.

Download Character Generator General Your printer offers you the possibility to design your own characters in normal print mode (DPQ), in NLQ, NLQ proportional, LQ and LQ proportional. These characters can either represent modified characters of the printer’s internal character sets or can replace other characters. These special characters, symbols, etc., can be defined in the Download Character Generator and then called “download characters” (DLL).
PAGE 157
To define download characters it is helpful to do this in a defined way: Draft print quality or letter quality or letter quality proportional characters? Superscript or subscript character, 12 cpi or 15 cpi character (DPQ + LQ)? The desired print mode (DPQ or LQ or LQ proportional) must be selected in the printer. Load characters from ROM to RAM using ESC : if necessary. Define the new character in the RAM using ESC &. Select the RAM character set using ESC %.

For LQ proportional only, it is necessary to define all 41 columns; column 42 should be free. All other print modes use the number of columns as defined by d1. Superscript and subscript characters and 15 cpi characters can be assigned needles 1 to 16. The super and sub shifting will be done by corresponding escape sequence. If the same needle is set to print adjacent columns, the printer will ignore one of them, i.e. it will print in alternating order.

Table of Character Width for Proportional Printing On the following pages you will find tables of character widths for proportional printing. The characters are represented by the printout, the decimal and the hexadecimal value. Characters without decimal and hexadecimal codes are international characters or graphics. Please note the International Substitution Characters on pages B-3 and B-4 and the International Code Tables on page B-8 and B-9.

Proportional width during scaleable font mode The values of the character widths are depending on the selected point size at your printer. The width of the scaleable fonts are based on the width of a proportional 10.5 point character. Calculate the width as follows:   (point size) x (base width) + 0.5 INT  10.5  inch  (character width) = 360 Example for a 24 point "0" *)  (24) x (30)  INT  + 0.5 10.5   inch (character width) = 360 (character width) = INT (69.

Introduction Regardless of the specific MTPL sequences of your printer, this User’s Manual describes the sum of all MTPL sequences and control codes. The only differentiation is made between 9 and 24 needle printers as well as the maximum possible paper width of 8 inches (80 column printer) or 13.6 inches (132 column printer). Please note that the print quality LQ (Letter Quality) is only available in the 24 needle printer.

CSI means “Control Sequence Introducer” and is described by the code 9B (hex.) or ESC [ : 7-Bit-environment ➛ hex. 1B, hex. 5B (= ESC [ ) 8-Bit-environment ➛ hex. 9B It is sensible to use only ESC [ as “Control Sequence Introducer” if MTPL is used associated with any other printer emulation. STOP The last character (in the following example t) specifies the function of the sequence. The header is followed by the Data Structure in ASCII, hexadecimal und decimal syntax with the necessary parameters, e.g.

Introduction This User’s Manual describes all barcode and LCP sequences and control codes, regardless of your printer’s special barcode and LCP implementation (LCP = Large Character Printing). Be sure to observe the notes in the operator’s manual regarding the special barcode/LCP Types implemented in your printer and which of the sequences described here are not available as a result. Select the Barcode Mode as described in the operator’s manual.

This may cause conflict with other emulations, since the above commands may have different functions in these emulations, for example: SI DC4 ESC P ESC P Condensed print Reset expanded print Proportional spacing ON/OFF Pica In barcode mode the barcode sequences have priority. The barcode interpreter can be switched on or off with the MTPL sequences ESC [ ? 11 ~ (Barcode ON) and ESC [ ? 10 ~ (Barcode OFF).
PAGE 359
The syntax for the parameters, the start, separate and stop code is represented as follows: ASCII hex. dec.
PAGE 360
Special Feature If you not get the required control codes for Barcode of ASCII code table columns 0 and 1 out of your computer you can use in addition to these Barcode control codes a set of MTPL sequences to generate these control codes by printable ASCII characters. By this measure the Barcode programs will remain fully compatible in spite of the additional MTPL sequences.

Otherwise the standard parameter values are used (see section "Header Format"). In the header, the printing parameters, the barcode size and the barcode type are defined. This header only needs to be transferred once, unless settings are to be changed or the printer has been turned off.
PAGE 364
The default parameter values are the following: Unsecured mode (see section "Secured/Unsecured mode") HRI OFF, Normal Print, Double Pass (F = SP) Barcode Type 2/5 matrix (a = "A") Barcode height 1/6 inch (n = "1") Narrow bar (x = "0") Narrow space (y = "0") Ratio of wide to narrow 2 to 1 (z = "0") When only parts of the header are to be changed, copy the header up to the parameter which must be changed, and then close the header with the end-of-header character.

Barcode Width By specifying an ASCII value from 0 to 3, the barcode width can be defined. This allows ideal adaption to the scanner specifications, particularly for long-range scanners.

All values are only valid when a new colour ribbon is used. They change depending on the degree of wear: narrow bar: approx. -0.05 mm narrow space: approx. +0.05 mm. The Code EAN 128, as the EAN/UPC, is based on module widths. Therefore only the X parameter is valid for this type. This parameter is also used for the Y parameter (narrow bar width). The Z parameter has no meaning. In combination with the normal/condensed feature, 8 widths result (see table 1).

Example If you need to print a Carriage Return (hex.0D, dec.13), as part of a barcode, you need to send ">M" (13 + 64 = 77, see character set table to verify that decimal 77 equals the capital letter "M"). This substitution process can be carried out throughout the range of decimal values, i.e., ">d" (decimal 100) equates to the dollar symbol (decimal 36). If the greater-than symbol itself must be transmitted, send ">0" (the 0 will not be part of the printed data).

Add-On Barcodes UPC and EAN barcodes (commercial barcodes) can be extended with Add-On barcodes. The following barcodes can be extended with Add-On barcodes: Barcode Types H, I, K, L, N, O, P and Q In the data formats the numbers are generally given in the sequence they are printed from left to right in the barcode, i.e. in the case of the EAN13 code, the 13. figure is transferred first and the 1. figure last.

Check Number Calculation The following barcode types must be given a check number for transfer to the printer: Type H and I (EAN 8) Type K and L (EAN 13) Type N and O (UPC A) Type P and Q (UPC E) The check number (c) is transferred after the barcode information (n). For the "EAN" type, this is printed as the last figure in the HRI data line. For the "UPC" type, the check number is not printed in the HRI data line.
PAGE 394
EAN 8 7 numbers are transferred for the EAN 8 code. The 8. digit represents the check number. The even figures of the information have a factor of "3", the uneven figures a factor of "1". Counting begins from the left. The resulting cross sum is divided by 10. The remaining figure is subtracted from the modul (10). If the remainder is "0", the check number is also "0".
PAGE 395
UPCE For the UPCE barcode type, 7 numbers are transmitted. The 8. digit is the check number. The uneven figures of the information have a factor of "3", the even figures a factor of "1". Counting begins from the left. The resulting cross sum is divided by 10. The remaining integer value is subtracted from the modul (10). The result is transmitted as the check number (c).
PAGE 396
Add-On 2 3 numbers are transmitted: check number (c) and 2 informations (n). The check number results from the remaining integer value of modul (4). Example 1 Information 0 Remainder (0) 0 4 0 Example 2 Information 2 Remainder (2) 0 6 2 Example 3 Information 3 Remainder (3) 9 9 3 Example 4 Information Remainder (1) 1 0 9 1 The check number always lies between "0" and "3"; it is not printed in the HRI line.

Large Character Printing (LCP) Before you can transfer the LCP data (Large Character Printing) data to the printer, the LCP header must be sent. The LCP header is made up of a series of max. 5 characters. In the header, the printing parameters and the LCP character size are defined. This header only needs to be transferred once, unless settings are to be changed or the printer has been turned off.
