(m = 4, 69) 

process: 

•

 

The printer processes the start code (ASCII = */Hex = 2Ah/Decimal = 42) 

as follows: 

• When the first bar code ( d1) is “*”, the printer processes the data as a 

first character. 

• If the first bar code ( d1) is not “*”, the printer adds a start character (*) 

automatically. 

•

 

The printer processes the start code (ASCII = */Hex = 2Ah/Decimal = 42) 

as follows: 

• When the last bar code ( dk or dn) is “*”, the printer processes the data 

as a last character. 

• If the last bar code ( dk or dn) is not “*”, the printer adds a last 

character (*) automatically. 

• When “*” is processed during bar code data processing, the printer 

processes “*” as a stop character. 

•

 

The printer prints data preceding “*” and finishes command processing. 

Therefore, data following “*” are processed as normal data.

Check digits are not calculated and added.

process: 

•

 

Start code and stop code are added automatically. 

•

 

Check digits are not calculated and added. 

•

 

Note: ITF request a even count of digits. In case of odd digits, a leading 0 

will be inserted if the memory switch “CodeITF Leading 0” is enabled (see 

GS ( E). In other case last digit will be discarded.

Start code and stop code are added automatically. 

•

 

Check digits (2 character) are calculated and added automatically. 

 

•

 

Special character HRI is processed as follows: 

• The printer prints an HRI character “ “ as start and stop character. 

• The printer prints HRI characters “ + an alphabetic character” as a 

control character (unprinted character). 

CODE128  

(m = 73) 

process: 

•

 

Make sure to specify the start character. The start character must be a 

code set selection character (any of CODE A, CODE B, or CODE C) which 

selects the first code set (see table below). If no start code is given, the 

CODE_C is default.
