FENIX IMVICO TK14 OPERATION MANUAL

•This command is enabled only when no data exists in the print buffer. When data exists in the print buffer, the printer processes the data following m as normal data.

•After printing the bar code, this command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.

•This command is not affected by print modes.

•The number of data for the ITF bar code must be even numbers. When an odd number of bytes of data is input, the printer ignores the last received data.

•When Code128 (m=49h) is used:

1.Refer to APPENDIX E – CODE 128 BAR CODE for the information for the Code128 bar code and its code table.

2.When using Code128 in this printer, take the following points into account for data transmission:

#The top of the bar code data string must be the code set

selection character (CODE A, CODE B or CODE C), which selects the first code set.

#Special characters are defined by combining two characters “{“ and one character. The ASCII character “{“ is defined by transmitting “{“ twice consecutively.

		Specific character		Transmit data
			ASCII	Hex	Decimal
		SHIFT	{S	7B, 53	123, 83
		CODE A	{A	7B, 41	123, 65
		CODE B	{B	7B, 42	123, 66
		CODE C	{C	7B, 43	123,67
		FNC1	{1	7B, 31	123, 49
		FNC2	{2	7B,32	123, 50
		FNC3	{3	7B, 33	123,51
		FNC4	{4	7B,34	123, 52
		“{“	{{	7B, 7B	123, 123
[Example]	Example data for printing “Ref. 258710”
	In this example, the printer first prints “No.” Using CODE B, then prints the
	following numbers using CODE C.

Fig. 4.1- Code128 code example.

3.If the top of the bar code data is not the code set selection character, the printer stops command processing and processes the following data as normal data.

4.If the combination of “{“ and the following character does not apply any special character, the printer stops command processing and processes the following data as normal data.

5.If the printer receives characters that cannot be used in the special code set, the printer stops command processing and processes the following data as normal data.

6.The printer does not print HRI characters that correspond to the shift characters or code set selection characters.

7.HRI character for the function character is space.

8.HRI characters for the control character (<00>H to <1F>H and <7F>H) are space.

<Others>	Be sure to keep spaces on both right and left sides of a bar code. (Spaces are different
	depending on the types of the bar code.)
