7 Print the bar code symbol with both
check digits generated by the printer
and put at the end of the data. The
2nd check digit is IBM Modulus-10.
The 1st check digit is the
complement to 11 of NCR Modulus-
11 algorithm applied to the received
string. If the modulus is 0 or 1, it is
an error and question marks are
printed in place of the HRC string, if
possible. 8 Print the bar code symbol with both
check digits generated by the printer and
put at the end of the data. The 2nd check
digit is IBM Modulus-10. The 1st check
digit is the complement to 11 of IBM
Modulus-11 algorithm applied to the
received string. If the modulus is 0 or 1,
it is an error and question marks are
printed in place of the HRC string, if
possible.
The printer-generated second check digit does not show on the required HRC string.
Code 11 DC4 DC4 ESC ! n14pEM
The CODE-11 bar code fields do not have a defined format length and contain data
belonging to the character set listed below:
0123456789
Otherwise question marks are printed in place of the HRC string, if possible.
This barcode type defines a variable WIDE/NARROW ratio. The bar code is printed at 1/180"
horizontal and vertical graphical printing resolution to ensure high readability rate. Each digit
encoding is separated from the next by a 1/90"—1/60" wide default Intercharacter Gap.
CODE-11 has unique a START/STOP character. The printer generates the couple related to
each symbol. It is visually interpreted by an OPEN TRIANGLE and will always appear on the
HRC string because its size is usually varied to signify the number of check digits being used
in the particular symbol:

SMALL open triangle means ONE check-digit

LARGE open triangle means TWO check-digit
The ffield is meaningless and always defaults to the HRC string print.
Code 93 DC4 DC4 ESC ! n15pEM
The CODE-93 bar code fields do not have a defined format length and contain data
belonging to the standard ASCII character set, including control codes.
Since the GS and EM control codes are used, the DC4 DC4 ESC (... EM “Print bar-code”
control sequence is part of the supported character set. The host application must SET THE
HIGHER-ORDER BIT of the above control codes to allow the printer to distinguish between
encodable data and string terminators.
The complete ASCII standard character set is encoded using 47 combinations of 9
bar/space narrow elements arranged into 3 variable width bars with their adjacent variable
width spaces. Each of the bars in the supported combinations can be 1, 2, or 3 modules
wide. The START/STOP character has a 4-module wide bar. CODE-93 directly implements
the basic subset as shown below:
0123456789 A BCDEFGHIJKL MNOP QRS T UVWX Y Z-.SPACES$/+%
($) (%) (/) (+) (as special control characters)
# (as unique START/STOP character)
The other STANDARD-ASCII codes not presented above are represented by means of a
combination of one control character in the above set followed by a symbol in the
alphabetical set. The HRC string is printed BELOW the symbol when ffield is set to 1 without
