STAR Line Mode Command Specifications 3-113
ESC GS x S 3 n
Name] Set PDF417 module aspect ratio
[Code] ASCII ESC GS x S 3 n
Hex. 1B 1D 78 53 33 n
Decimal 27 29 120 83 51 n
[Defined Area]
1 ≤ n ≤ 10
[Initial Value] n = 3
[Function] Parameter details
• n: Sets the module aspect ratio (asp).
The module Y direction size (x-dim x asp) is set using this command.
It is recommended that 2 ≤ n when specifying using this command.
When using with n = 1, check by actual use.
ESC GS x D nL nH d1 d2 … dk
[Name]
Set PDF417 bar code data
[Code] ASCII ESC GS x D nL nH d1 d2 … dk
Hex. 1B 1D 78 44 nL nH d1 d2 … dk
Decimal 27 29 120 68 nL nH d1 d2 … dk
[Defined Area]
0 ≤ nL ≤ 255, 0 ≤ nH ≤ 255
1 ≤ (nL + nH x 256) ≤ 1024
0 ≤ d ≤ 255
1 ≤ k ≤ 1024
[Initial Value] ---
[Function] Parameter details
• nL + nH x 256 : Bar code data count
• dk : Bar code data (Maximum 1024 data)
When [nL + nH x 256] is outside of the definition, data of [nL + nH x 256] bytes is discarded.
ESC GS x P
[Name]
Print PDF417 bar code
[Code] ASCII ESC GS x P
Hex. 1B 1D 78 50
Decimal 27 29 120 80
[Defined Area]
---
[Initial Value] ---
[Function] Prints the bar code data.
If there is unprinted data in the line buffer, this command is executed after printing that data in the
line buffer. Therefore, it is not possible to print with other data in the same line (characters, bit
images, bar codes).
Also, this command is ignored if the following errors occur.
• When an error is generated when generating a bar code, due to the combination of the bar code
setting commands
• When the bar code data that is generated exceeds the printable size of PDF417
• When the print data exceeds the currently set print region
When a bar code is printed, always verify it by actual use.
