For QR Code symbol (when cn=49)
▪
The symbol data specified by Function 180 d1...dk is stored in the printer
and is printed by the specification of Function 181. The symbol data in the
save area is reserved until the following processing is performed :
- Function 080 or 181 is executed
- ESC @ is executed
- The printer is reset or the power is turned off
▪
When processing Function 181 or 182, the setting values of Functions 165, 167,
169 are used. If the printable area is not enough, the symbol may not be printed.
▪
Executing Function 181 after executing Function 180 repeatedly prints the
same symbol data.
▪
By using Functions 165, 167, 169 combined with Function 181, the same
symbol data d1...dk is printed differently.
▪
By using Function 182, the symbol size printed by Function 181 is available.
* The recognition rate of the symbol is affected by the height of the symbol,
module height, module width ratio, and the performance of the reader.
* It is recommended that the module height and module width be set so that
the height of the symbol is bigger than 5mm (0.2 inch).
* It is recommended that the module height be set three to five times the
width of the module.
* The module height is specified by Function 068. The width of a module is
specified by Function 067. The number of the rows is specified by Function
066.
* The size of the symbol is confirmed by the transmission data of Function 082.

Specifies the number of columns of the data area of PDF417.
- n=0 specifies auto processing
- When n is not 0, specifies the number of columns of the data area as n
code word.
▪
Settings of this function affect the processing of Functions 081 and 082.
▪
When auto processing (n=0) is specified, the maximum number of
columns in the data area is 30 columns.
▪
The following data is not included in the number of columns :
- Start pattern and stop pattern
- Indicator code word of left and right
▪
When auto processing (n=0) is specified, the number of columns is
calculated by the printing area when processing Functions 081, 082,
module width (Function 067), and option setting (Function 070).
▪
Setting of this function are effective until ESC @ is executed, the printer is
reset, or the power is turned off.
