Format:	ESC i n … n \

Creates bar codes or expanded characters according to the segment of parameters “n … n”. For further information about parameters, see the following “Definition of Parameters.” This command must end with the

“\ ” code (5CH). [Definition of Parameters]

This bar code command can have the following parameters in the parameter segment (n … n). Since parameters are effective within the single command syntax ESC i n … n \, they don’t take effect in the subsequent bar code commands. If certain parameters are not specified, they take the default settings. The last parameter must be the bar code data start (“b” or “B”) or the expanded character data start (“l” or “L”). Other parameters can be specified in any sequence. The prefix of each parameter can be a lower-case or upper-case character: for example, “t0” or “T0”, “s3” or “S3”, etc.

■Bar Code Mode

n = “t0” or “T0” n = “t1” or “T1” n = “t3” or “T3” n = “t4” or “T4” n = “t5” or “T5” n = “t6” or “T6” n = “t9” or “T9” n = “t12” or “T12” n = “t13” or “T13” n = “t14” or “T14”

n = “t130” or “T130” n = “t131” or “T131” n = “t132” or “T132” n = “t133” or “T133” n = “t134” or “T134”
