EAN-13 / UPC-A Serial Shipping Barcode
The printer has the ability to print a nominal sized EAN-13 and UPC shipping barcode in both
the normal or invert mode. The barcode consists of the machine readable barcode on top and the
human readable test beneath. The barcode is printed below and to the right of the current
position.
The barcode is designed to comply with the standard UCC/EAN Application Identifier standard
and utilizes the UCC/EAN-128 symbolism.
To generate a UPC or EAN-13 barcode the digits to be coded must begin with a
~ (tilde)
[Hex
7E] then an
& (ampersand)
[Hex 26] followed with the 12 digits for EAN-13. The printer will
automatically calculate the check-digit. Send ten digits and two leading 0’s (zeros) are added to
generate the EAN-13 barcode.
For the printer to generate a UPC or EAN barcode the data sent must follow the ensuing rules:
A (
~&
) must be the first two characters.
The EAN-13 must have 12 digits, the UPC must have 10 digits.
Spaces are not allowed within the EAN / UPC information.
The EAN barcode information must be terminated with end of line characters (CR [Hex 0D]
or LF [Hex 0A]).
Only use ACII text or use Courier 12 pt when using widows to send the EAN / UPC barcode
command and information.
Note
: If an illegal format is received
the command will be ignored and
only the text will print.
Example:
To print a EAN-13 ~&123987654321
To print a UPC
~&0198765432

The dimensions of the EAN-13 at nominal size are:
37.29 mm wide including clear space for margins
25.93 mm height - measured down from the top of the line from which it was generated.
The dimension of the UPC-E barcode at nominal size are:
22.11 mm wide including clear space for margins
25.93 mm height – measured down from the top of the line from which it was generated.
Keep these dimensions in mind when laying out the design for using the EAN-13 Barcode and
the UPC-E barcode.
