Chapter 7 "Bar Codes Control" - 6
Characters “0” to “9” can be data and it must be terminated by a check digit. “?” can
be used in place of a check digit.
Ÿ
When the EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter “t5” or “T5”:
Ten numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data. The number of
characters for bar codes is limited as follows.
EAN 8: Total 8 digits (7 1 check digit)
EAN 13: Total 13 digits (12 1 check digit)
UPC A:
Total 12 digits (11 1 check digit)
Any number of characters other than above causes a data error and the bar code data is
printed as normal print data. If the check digit is incorrect, the printer calculates it and
replaces it with the correct check digit so that the correct bar code data will be printed.
When the EAN13 is selected, adding “+” and a 2-or 5-digit number after the data will
create the add-on code.
Ÿ
When UPC-E is selected with the parameter “t6” or “T6”:
The numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data.
8 digits Standard format. The first character must be “0” and the data must be
terminated by a check digit.
Total 8 digits = "0" + 6 1 check digit
6 digits The first character "0" and the last check digit are removed from the 8 digit
data.
*1: For 8 digits, “?” can be used in place of a check digit.
*2: Adding “+” and 2- or 5-digit number after the data creates an add-on code
for all 6 and 8 digit formats.
Ÿ
When Codabar is selected with the parameter “t9” or “T9”:
Characters “0” to “9”, “–”, “ . ”, “$”, “/”, “+”, “ : ” can be printed. Characters “A” to
“D” can be printed as a start-stop code, which can be uppercase or lowercase. If there
is no start-stop code, an error will occur. The check digit cannot be added and “?”
causes an error.
Ÿ
When Code 128 Set A, Set B, or Set C is selected with the parameter “t12” or “12,”
“t13” or “T13,” or “t14” or “T14” respectively:
Code sets A, B and C are individually selectable. Set A encodes characters in the range
Hex 00 to 5F. Set B encodes characters in the range Hex 20 to 7F. Set C encodes
numeric pairs in the range 00 to 99.
- Switching is allowed between the code sets by sending %A, %B, or %C.
- FNC 1, 2, 3, and 4 are produced with %1, %2, %3, and %4.
- The SHIFT code, %S, allows temporary switching (for 1 character only) between
set A and set B and vice versa.
- To print the “%” character, it must be sent twice.
Ÿ
When ISBN (EAN) is selected with the parameter “t130” or “T130”:
The rules are the same as for “t5” or “T5”
Ÿ
When the ISBN (UPC-E) is selected with the parameter “t131” or “T131”:
The rules are the same as for “t6” or “T6”
