[Notes]
•
n
indicates the number of bar code data bytes, and the printer processes
n
bytes from the next character data as bar code data.
•
If
n
is outside the specified range, the printer stops command processing and
processes the following data as normal data.
•
If
d
is outside the specified range, the printer only feeds paper and processes
the following data as normal data.
•
If the horizontal size exceeds printing area, the printer only feeds the paper.
•
This command feeds as much paper as is required to print the bar code,
regardless of the line spacing specified by
ESC 2
or
ESC 3
.
•
This command is enabled only when no data exists in the print buffer. When
data exists in the print buffer, the printer processes the data following
m
as
normal data.
•
After printing the bar code, this command sets the print position to the
beginning of the line.
•
This command is not affected by print modes.
•
The number of data for the ITF bar code must be even numbers. When an odd
number of bytes of data is input, the printer ignores the last received data.
•
When Code128 (m=49h) is used:
1. Refer to Appendix G – CODE 128 BAR CODE for the information
for the Code128 bar code and its code table.
2. When using Code128 in this printer, take the following points into
account for data transmission:
!
The top of the bar code data string must be the code set
selection character (CODE A, CODE B or CODE C),
which selects the first code set.
!
Special characters are defined by combining two
characters “
{
“ and one character. The ASCII character “
{
“
is defined by transmitting “
{
“ twice consecutively.
