a) When this code is used, the start and stop patterns are automatically
inserted.
b) When the number of digits for bar code data is an odd number, the printer
automatically adds “0” in the highest digit position.
c) Details conform to the AIM, USS-12/5, ANSI, and JIS X 0502 specifica-
tions
EXAMPLE Bar code string number 25, starting position of bar code (X, Y)
= 5 mm, 10 mm, use Mode 1 of ITF, Bar code height 10 mm
Data: 0123456, bar code rotation direction 0 degree
