Creates bar codes or expanded characters according to the segment of
parameters “n … n”. For further information about parameters, see the
following “Definition of Parameters.” This command must end with the
“ \ ” code (5CH).
[Definition of Parameters]
This bar code command can have the following parameters in the
parameter segment (n … n). Since parameters are effective within the
single command syntax ESC i n … n \, they don’t take effect in the
subsequent bar code commands. If certain parameters are not specified,
they take the default settings. The last parameter must be the bar code
data start (“b” or “B”) or the expanded character data start (“l” or “L”).
Other parameters can be specified in any sequence. The prefix of each
parameter can be a lower-case or upper-case character: for example, “t0”
or “T0”, “s3” or “S3”, etc.

Bar Code Mode
n = “t0” or “T0” CODE 39 (default)
n = “t1” or “T1” Interleaved 2 of 5
n = “t3” or “T3” FIM (US-Post Net)
n = “t4” or “T4” Post Net (US-Post Net)
n = “t5” or “T5” EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A
n = “t6” or “T6” UPC E
n = “t9” or “T9” Codabar
n = “t12” or “T12” Code 128 set A
n = “t13” or “T13” Code 128 set B
n = “t14” or “T14” Code 128 set C
n = “t130” or “T130” ISBN (EAN)
n = “t131” or “T131” ISBN (UPC-E)
n = “t132” or “T132” EAN 128 set A
n = “t133” or “T133” EAN 128 set B
n = “t134” or “T134” EAN 128 set C
This parameter selects the bar code mode as above. When n is “t5” or
“T5”, the bar code mode (EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A) varies
according to the number of characters in the data.
