TH230/TH230+ Programmers Guide
175
• When an odd number of data is processed for ITF bar code system (m =
5), the printer ignores the last received data.
• The printer processes n bytes from the next data as bar code data by this
command specifying m = 65 to 71.
• Printing area does not include quiet zone (left/right margin) of bar code.
Make sure to secure the quiet zone, using this command.
• When printing ladder bar code (bar code rotated by 90 degrees in page
mode) the printer starts actual printing after it reaches control speed for
printing ladder bar code. It is needed to feed paper amount of 10 dots or
less in this operation. Therefore, if there is no area more than 10 dots at
the top of the page, no-print area will be generated.
• If the printable area is to small for barcode, barcode will not printed!
• If the separator for composite code is given without composite code,
barcode will not be printed!
UPC-A
(m = 0, 65)
process:
• Modular check character is processed as following.
• Automatically added when processing data is 11 byte.
• The 12
th
byte data is processed as a modular check character when
processing data is 12 byte. In this case, modular check character is not
checked.
• Left guard bar/center bar/right guard bar are added automatically.
UPC-A-
Composite
(m = 65)
process:
•
Barcode is combination of UPC-A and the composite codes CC-A and CC-B
• Separator to composite code is ‘|’ (ASCII), 7C (HEX), 124 (DEZ)
• Barcode can be printed without composite part
• Barcode will not be printed if the separator is given without composite
code
UPC-E
(m = 1, 66)
process:
• The first data ( d1) is processed as number system character (NSC) so 0
must be specified.
• If n is out of the specified range or if n is an odd number when ITF bar
code system (m = 70) is selected, this command is canceled and the
following data is processed as normal data.
• Modular check character is processed as following.
• Automatically added when processing data is 11 byte.
• The 12
th
byte data is processed as a modular check character when
processing data is 12 byte. In this case, modular check character is not
checked.
• Simplified code with 6 digits is printed. Left guard bar/right guard bar are
added automatically.
JAN13/EAN
13 (m = 2,
67) process:
• Modular check character is processed as follows:
• Automatically added when processing data is 13 byte.
• The 13
th
byte data is processed as a modular check character when
processing data is 13 byte. In this case, modular check character is not
checked.
• Left guard bar/center bar/right guard bar are added automatically.
JAN8/EAN8
(m = 3, 68)
process:
• Modular check character is processed as follows:
• Automatically added when processing data is 7 byte.
• The 8
th
byte data is processed as a modular check character when
processing data is 8 byte. In this case, modular check character is not
