checked.
• Left guard bar/center bar/right guard bar are added automatically.
CODE39
(m = 4, 69)
process:
• The printer processes the start code (ASCII = */Hex = 2Ah/Decimal = 42)
as follows:
• When the first bar code ( d1) is “*”, the printer processes the data as a
first character.
• If the first bar code ( d1) is not “*”, the printer adds a start character (*)
automatically.
• The printer processes the start code (ASCII = */Hex = 2Ah/Decimal = 42)
as follows:
• When the last bar code ( dk or dn) is “*”, the printer processes the data
as a last character.
• If the last bar code ( dk or dn) is not “*”, the printer adds a last
character (*) automatically.
• When “*” is processed during bar code data processing, the printer
processes “*” as a stop character.
• The printer prints data preceding “*” and finishes command processing.
Therefore, data following “*” are processed as normal data.
• Check digits are not calculated and added.
ITF
(Interleaved
2 of 5)
(m = 5, 70)
process:
• Start code and stop code are added automatically.
• Check digits are not calculated and added.
• Note: ITF request a even count of digits. In case of odd digits, a leading 0
will be inserted if the memory switch “CodeITF Leading 0” is enabled (see
GS ( E). In other case last digit will be discarded.
CODABAR
(m = 6, 71)
process:
• Start code and stop code are not added automatically. Transmit data
including the codes.
• Check digits are not calculated and added.
PDF417
(m = 10, 75)
process:
• Parameter is set with command GS p
• Printing this barcode synchronize the printer. Therefore, the print would
be stopped for a short time.
CODE93
(m = 72)
process:
• Start code and stop code are added automatically.
• Check digits (2 character) are calculated and added automatically.
• Special character HRI is processed as follows:
• The printer prints an HRI character “ “ as start and stop character.
• The printer prints HRI characters “ + an alphabetic character” as a
control character (unprinted character).
CODE128
(m = 73)
process:
• Make sure to specify the start character. The start character must be a
code set selection character (any of CODE A, CODE B, or CODE C) which
selects the first code set (see table below). If no start code is given, the
CODE_C is default.
• Table below list the allowed values and code 128 – code table conversion.
Specific characters are in bold-italic:
