e = UCC check digit Accepted Values: Y (turns on) or N (turns off)
Mod 103 check digit is always there. It cannot be turned on or
off. Mod 10 and 103 appear together with
e turned on.
Default Value: N
m = mode Accepted Values:
N = no selected mode
U = UCC Case Mode
• More than 19 digits in ^FD or
^SN are eliminated.
• Fewer than 19 digits in ^FD or ^SN add zeros to the right
to bring the count to 19. This produces an invalid
interpretation line.
A = Automatic Mode
This analyzes the data sent and automatically
determines the best packing method. The full ASCII
character set can be used in the
^FD statement — the
printer determines when to shift subsets. A string of
four or more numeric digits causes an automatic shift to
Subset C.
D = UCC/EAN Mode (x.11.x and newer firmware)
This allows dealing with UCC/EAN with and without
chained application identifiers. The code starts in the
appropriate subset followed by FNC1 to indicate a
UCC/EAN 128 bar code. The printer automatically
strips out parentheses and spaces for encoding, but
prints them in the human-readable section. The printer
automatically determines if a check digit is required,
calculate it, and print it. Automatically sizes the human
readable.
Default Value: N
