Bar Code, Select Type (continued)
Values for m3
m3 Description
0 Recommended. Automatically selects start character.
1 Starts in subset A.
2 Starts in subset B.
3 Starts in subset C.
Note: Intermec recommends that you set m3 to 0 unless you are familiar
with Code 128 subsets. The printer will automatically determine the
correct start subset and perform any necessary switching between subsets.
,m3 is valid only in the EasyCoder PF4i and PM4i printers with firmware
version 2.10 and higher and ,m1 must equal 0. If you set m3 to a number
other than 0, only characters within the chosen subset are valid. If you
enter characters from another subset, the printer generates an error code 11
(invalid bar code data) and the bar code will not print.
To switch to another character subset within the bar code
• Enter:
<SUB><SUB>n
where n is A, B, or C depending on if you want to switch to subset A, B,
or C.
Or,
where n is S and the current subset is A or B. The next one character is
shifted from the current subset into the other subset (A or B). Then, the
following characters will return to the current subset. If you set n equal
to S and the current subset is C, this command is ignored.
