Parameter 255 (Element print) is used to print a bar code which is input element by element. It can print a bar
code which is not supported by the printer and is represented by combining elements. Since data is input by
elements, HRI printing is not performed and no check digit is added to the bar code. The start and stop
characters is also not added.
