Special Considerations for the ^BY Command When Using ^BB
The parameters for the ^BYw,r,h command, when used with a ^BB code, are as
follows:
w = Module width. Default Value:2 Maximum Value: 10. (CODABLOCK A
only).
r = Ratio. Default Value: 3 (fixed value; this has no effect on CODABLOCK E
or F).
h = Height of bars. CODABLOCK uses this as the overall symbol height only
when the row height is not specified in the ^BB h parameter.
Special Considerations for ^FD Character Set When Using ^BB
The character set sent to the printer depends on the mode selected in parameter m.
CODABLOCK A: Uses the same character set as Code 39. If any other
character is used in the ^FD statement, either no bar code is printed or an error
message is printed (if ^CV is active).
CODABLOCK E: The automatic mode includes the full ASCII set except for
those characters with special meaning to the printer. Function codes or the Code
128 subset A <nul> character can be inserted through the use of the ^FH
command.
<fnc1> = 80 hex <fnc3>= 82 hex
<fnc2> = 81 hex <fnc4>= 83 hex
<nul>= 84 hex
For any other character above 84 hex, either no bar code is printed or an error
message is printed (if ^CV is active).
CODABLOCK F: Uses the full ASCII set except for those characters with
special meaning to the printer. Function codes or the Code 128 subset A <nul>
character can be inserted through the use of the ^FH command.
<fnc1> = 80 hex <fnc3>= 82 hex
<fnc2>= 81 hex <fnc4>= 83 hex
<nul>= 84 hex
