Alternate Codes
Purpose: Sets the printer to use different hexadecimal values
for control characters. Use the alternate codes if your
host cannot produce the standard control characters.
For example, SOH uses 0x5E, and STX uses 0x7E.
Default: Off
Calibrate
Purpose: Measures the label length and calibrates the sensors.
Code 128 Alphanumeric
Purpose: For Code 128 bar codes containing both numeric
and alphabetical characters, magnifies the lowest
narrow bar width if the printer resolution is different
than your old Datamax printer. For example, if
simulating an 8 dots/mm Datamax printer on a
12 dots/mm EasyCoder printer, there will be a
noticeable difference when printing a bar code where
the narrow bars are one dot wide.
Usually, the DSim program selects the bar code
magnification that is smaller or equal to the desired
size, but you may want a larger sized bar code. In
most cases, a value of 1 should be sufficient. You can
adjust the value from 0 to 9.
Default: 0 (off)
Code 128 Numeric
Purpose: For Code 128 bar codes containing only numeric
characters, magnifies the lowest narrow bar width if
the printer resolution is different than your old
Datamax printer. For example, if simulating an
8 dots/mm Datamax printer on a 12 dots/mm
EasyCoder printer, there will be a noticeable
difference when printing a bar code where the
narrow bars are one dot wide.
