4.3  PCL Escape Sequences 

 
From UNIX or DOS it is necessary to send PCL escape sequences as part of the 
print data to select the desired bar code font. The PCL escape sequences for the 
fonts are shown on the PCL font list. Instructions on how to print the PCL font list are 
given in your printer manual.

UPCTallBarsThin : esc(24Yesc(s1p#v0s0b28696T 
UPCHalfBarsThin : esc(24Yesc(s1p#v0s0b28697T 
(# : point size 0.25 - 999.75) 
 
After printing a bar code it is necessary to select a different font in order to print 
something besides more bar codes. The PCL command to select the default font is 
“<esc>(3@”. To select a font other than the default font, use the PCL escape 
sequence shown on the PCL font list. 
 
 

5 Codabar 

5.1 About 

Codabar 

 
Created in 1972, Codabar was developed by the Monarch Marking Systems division 
of Pitney Bowes, Inc. Originally developed for retail price labeling, Codabar is a 
general purpose bar code used primarily for numeric data. It is used in libraries, to 
label photo-finishing envelopes, Federal Express air bills, and is the American Blood 
Commission's standard symbology for blood bag labeling. Blood banks use the D 
stop character to indicate that the next bar code beginning with a D should be 
concatenated with the current bar code. The Xerox Codabar bar code font is the 
Rationalized Codabar variant. Codabar may also be referred to as Ames Code, 
USD-4, NW-7, or 2 of 7 Code. 
 
Codabar is bi-directional, self-checked and discrete. Its length is unlimited and there 
is no checksum defined as part of the Codabar standard, but some industries 
(libraries, for example) have adopted their own checksum standards. AIM has a 
recommended check character. 
 
The Codabar font works with any Microsoft Windows

®

, Macintosh

®

, or UNIX 

application. As a font, it is easy to integrate into a database, spreadsheet, or custom 
application.
