4.0 CPI (20 Bars per inch) US POSTNET Bar Code
FONT SELECTION
You may select either of the US POSTNET character sets from the front panel, or through escape sequences. (Refer to your User’s Manual for details on front panel menus.)
The following escape sequence will configure the 4.0 cpi POSTNET BAR CODE as a secondary font:
ESC)0K
ESC)0KESC)s4.0H
The sequence above sets the secondary font symbol set to 4.0 cpi POSTNET BAR CODE, and sets the pitch to 4.0 cpi. Once the Secondary character set is configured for 4.0 CPI Postnet Bar Codes, the Shift Out command can be used to activate the bar codes:
Shift Out: | hex 0E |
After the bar code is printed, the normal print mode is activated by using the Shift In command:
Shift In: | hex 0F |
NOTE: It is recommended setting the US POSTNET Bar Code character set as the secondary set, with the normal operation mode as the primary font.
