[Caution] • When data being held in the print buffer, this command is ignored.
• Regardless of the specified feed pitch, this command feeds the paper that is required to print a bar
code.
• If the character code d cannot be printed in the respective bar code system, the bar code so far
will be printed, processing the subsequent data as normal data.
• When a bar code whose number of characters to be printed is fixed has been selected, the number
of characters k have to be always made equal to the number of characters to be printed. (The bar
code is not printed when not matching.)
• When the horizontal direction exceeds one line length, the bar code is not printed.
[Default] • The initial value is not specified.
[CODE 128 additional information]
Code 128 covers all ASCII codes from 0 to 127, and it has three tables A, B and C that can be used
in the same bar code.
Table A: contains ASCII symbols with codes 0 to 95 and control symbols FNC1, FNC2, FNC3,
FNC4, SHIFT, CODEB, CODEC.
Table B: contains symbols with ASCII codes from 32 to 127 and control characters FNC1,
FNC2, FNC3, FNC4, SHIFT, CODEA, CODEC.
Table C: It is used for coding bar code areas that consist only of numerals. Each symbol gives
two digits that are coded with ASCII codes from 0 to 99. Control characters
FNC1, CODEA,
CODEB are also available.
The bar code must start with one of the symbols CODEA, CODEB or CODEC, that determines
which table will be used. If it is necessary the current table could be changed later by inserting one
of these symbols in to the bar code. The symbol following SHIFT character is considered to be
from table B, if table A is current, or from table A, if table B is current. If a symbol that is not
valid for the current table is used, the whole bar code is not printed.
Control symbols are assigned two bytes as follows:
