Use a <SUB> 1 to represent the function 1 character in Emulation mode.
In Advanced mode, you can represent the function 1 character by entering
<SUB><SUB> 1. You can represent the characters for functions 2, 3, and
4 in the same way.
To produce a square symbol, specify a height magnification of 1 in
Advanced mode. To specify a square symbol, use a height magnification of
250 in Emulation mode.
The printer supports only the alphanumeric (0) and numeric (2) modes.
POSTNET
c11
POSTNET uses the height (“h”) and width (“w”) commands in the same
way as a font. Other symbologies use “h” to specify the bar height and “w”
to specify the narrow bar width. POSTNET uses “h” and “w” to magnify
the base character cell. Each character cell is 13 dots high by 22 dots wide.
The default width and height magnification for POSTNET is 2 x 2,
resulting in a symbology sized according to the POSTNET specification.
PDF417
c12[[,m1][,m2][,m3]];
PDF417 is a stacked 2D symbology that provides the ability to scan across
rows of code. Each row consists of start/stop characters, row identifiers,
and symbol characters, which consist of four bars and four spaces each and
contain the actual data. This symbology uses error correction symbol
characters appended at the end to recover loss of data.
