KIX barcode
The KIX barcode prints numeric values from 0 to 9 and alphanumer-
ic values from A to Z as barcode characters.
After activating this barcode type, numeric characters from 0 (hex.
30) to 9 (hex. 39) and alphanumeric values from A (hex. 41) to Z
(hex. 5A) are interpreted as barcode figures. Lower cases from a
(hex. 61) to z (hex. 7a) are automatically converted to capital char-
acters. Control characters from hex. 0 (dec. 0) to hex.1F (dec. 31)
terminates this barcode mode. All other characters are ignored. Ex-
ception: the TAB function (hex. 09) is allowed within Barcode mode.
The KIX sequence is accessible in MTPL emulation. The printer
prints barcode in LQ.
The character (e.g. CR = carriage return, hex. 0D), which termi-
nates the barcode is not printed or carried out.
KIX barcode does not require a barcode bracket.
Example: ASCII
ESC [ 2 k SO36XY1A CR
HEX
1b 5b 32 6b 53 4f 33 36 58 59 31 41 0D
The characters “SO36XY1A” are printed as KIX stripes.
USPS Intelligent Mail
barcode
The USPS Intelligent Mail barcode is a 4-state barcode which works
in MTPL, IBM, Epson and ANSI emulation. 4-state barcode data
must be converted into only 0, 1, 2 or 3. Each number represents
one of the four possible bars. Tabs (Hex 09) and spaces can sepa-
rate either the bars or the barcodes horizontal, but every other char-
acter unser Hex 20 will terminate barcode mode.
You can enter the barcode mode with the sequence ESC [ ? 11 ~,
the sequence ESC [ 10 ~ exits the barcode mode.
Example: ASCII
ESC [ 9 SP k <data>
HEX
1b 5b 39 02 6b <data>
