▪
The following data are added automatically by the encode processing.
- Start pattern and stop pattern.
- Indicator code word of left and right.
- The descriptor of symbol length. (the first code word in the data area)
- The error correction code word calculated by modulus 929.
- Pad codeword.
▪
The data area includes the following code words.
- Data specified by Function 080.
- The descriptor of symbol length. (the first code word in the data area)
- The error correction code word calculated by modulus 929.
- Pad codeword.
▪
When auto processing (Function 065) is specified, the number of
columns is calculated by the current printing area, module width (Function
067), option setting (Function 070), and the code word in the data area.
Maximum number of the columns in 30.
▪
When auto processing (Function 066) is specified in page mode, the
number of rows is calculated by the current printing area, module height
(Function 068), and the code word in the data area. The maximum number
of rows is 90.
▪
Printing of symbol is not affected by print mode (emphasized, double-
strike, underline, white/black reverse printing, or 90
˚
clockwise-rotated),
except for character size and upside-down printing mode.
▪
In standard mode, this command executes paper feeding for the amount
needed for printing the symbol, regardless of the paper feed amount set by
the paper feed setting command. The printing position returns to the left
side of the printable area after printing the symbol, and printer is in the
status “beginning of the line,” or “ there is no data in the print buffer.”
▪
In page mode, the printer stores the symbol data in the print buffer without
executing actual printing. The printer moves printing position to the next
dot of the last data of the symbol.
▪
The quiet zone is not included in the printing data. Be sure to include the
quiet zone when using this function.

Encodes and sends size information of the PDF417 symbol data in the

In standard mode, use this function when printer is “at the beginning of a
line,” or “there is no data in the printer buffer.”
