Bar Code, Select Type (continued)
Values for n
n Description
d0[,m] This field receives data from a host. The ,m is the data length, which can be
set to 6 (condensed), 14 (standard), and 16 (extended).
d2[,m] This field acts as a slave field and receives its data from another field (master
slave). The ,m is the master slave field ID.
d3[,m] The printer defines the data during Program mode (fixed). The ,m
determines the JIS-ITF type. If the data length is not exactly 6, 14, or 16, the
printer uses the next highest JIS-ITF type with zero padding in front.
The JIS-ITF bar code is the Japanese Industry Standard for Interleaved
2 of 5. JIS-ITF bar codes are in a box of solid black that measures 4.75
mm (0.19 in) and always include an interpretive field [21 x 14O CR-B
(JIS x 9001)] centered beneath the bar code field.
Valid narrow bar width magnifications are 5, 8, and 10 dots. Due to
printhead dot size limitations, the printer cannot achieve a true 2.5 to 1
ratio when using a narrow bar width of 5 dots. The printer uses a wide bar
width of 12 dots for a true 2.4 to 1 ratio instead.
JIS-ITF bar code fields consist of these three categories: standard,
condensed, and enlarged. If you are not using the command to define the
source of the field data, the printer automatically chooses a category. If
your bar code field contains 14 characters, the printer uses standard JIS-
ITF. If your field contains 6, the printer uses the condensed version, and if
your field contains 16, the printer uses the enlarged version.
