H: Health Industry Bar Code (HBIC)
Valid Characters: 0-9, A-Z, -$ /. %
Variable Length.
Valid bar widths: The expected ratio of wide to narrow bars can range from 2:1 to 3:1.
The host must supply leading “+”’s
The following example prints a HBIC bar code with a wide to narrow bar ratio of 3:1:
<STX>L
D11<CR>
1H0000000123456789<CR>
121100000000100Barcode H<CR>

I: Codabar
Valid Characters: 0-9, A-D, -, ., $, :, /, + (comma is not valid)
Variable Length but requires at least three characters.
Valid bar widths: The expected ratio of wide to narrow bars can range from 2:1 to 3:1.
Valid Codabar symbols require start and stop characters (A–D). These characters should be placed in
the data field along with other data to be included in the symbol.
The following example prints a Codabar bar code with a wide to narrow bar ratio of 3:1:
<STX>L
D11<CR>

Barcode I
J: Interleaved 2 of 5 with a modulo 10 checksum .
Valid Characters: 0-9
Variable Length.
Valid bar widths: The expected ratio of wide to narrow bars can range from 2:1 to 3:1.
The following example prints an Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code with a modulo 10 checksum added and
with a wide to narrow bar ratio of 3:1:
<STX>L
D11<CR>
1J000000015010001234567890<CR>
