The following conditions are required for barcode printing.
❏
Barcode printing is always performed unidirectionally. However,
when it is mixed with raster bit image data, neither barcode nor
raster bit image is printed.
❏
A barcode is not printed when part of the barcode extends beyond
the right margin.
❏
When barcode data and text data are mixed in a data sequence,
barcode and text are printed in the same place.
❏
The initial data of Code 128 (Set A, B, or C) is identified as the
firstdata of Code 128, and must be hexadecimal (41, 42, and 43
respectively).
❏
When Code 128 Set C and Interleaved 2 of 5 are selected, barcode
data requires an even number data string. However, if an odd
number string is sent, a 0 is automatically added, making it an even
number data string.
❏
The barcode print start position is always 40/360 inch above the
baseline.
