•When EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter “t5” or “T5”:
Ten numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data.
The number of characters for bar codes is limited as follows.
EAN 8: Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit)
EAN 13: Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit)
UPC A: Total 12 digits (11 digits + 1 check digit)

•When Code 128 Set A, Set B, or Set C is selected with the parameter “t12” or “T12,” “t13” or “T13,” or “t14” or “T14” respectively:
Code 128 sets A, B and C are individually selectable. Set A encodes characters Hex 00 … 5F. Set B encodes characters Hex 20 … 7F. Set C encodes numeric pairs 00 … 99. Switching is allowed between the code sets by sending %A, %B, or %C. FNC 1, 2, 3, and 4 are produced with %1, %2, %3, and %4. The SHIFT code, %S, allows temporary switching (for 1 character only) from set A to set B and vice versa. The “%” character can be encoded by sending it twice.
