"Expanded Character Rotation
n = a0 or A1Upright (default)
n = a1 or A1Rotated 90 degrees
n = a2 or A2Upside down, rotated 180 degrees
n = a3 or A3Rotated 270 degrees
"Bar Code Data Start
n = b or B
Data that follows b or B is read in as bar code data. Bar code data must
end with the \ code (5CH), which also terminates this command. The
acceptable bar code data is subject to the bar code mode selected by t or
T.
When CODE 39 is selected with the parameter t0 or T0:
Forty three characters 0 to 9, A to Z, -, . , (space), $, / , +,
and % can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters cause data
error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. The bar code
data automatically starts and ends with an asterisk * (start character and
stop character). If the received data has an asterisk * at its beginning or
end, the asterisk is regarded as a start character or stop character.
When Interleaved 2 of 5 is selected with the parameter t1 or T1:
Ten numerical characters 0 to 9 can be accepted as bar code data. Other
characters cause data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not
limited. Since this mode of bar codes require even characters, if the bar
code data has odd characters, the zero character 0 is automatically added
to the end of the bar code data.
When FIM (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter t3 or T3:
Characters A to D are valid and 1 digit of data can be printed. Uppercase
and lowercase alphabet characters can be accepted.
When Post Net (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter t4 or T4:
Characters 0 to 9 can be data and it must be terminated by a check digit.
? can be used in place of the check digit.
