When sending print data, note these points:

(1)Each string of bar code data must begin with a code set select character (CODE A, CODE B, or CODE C), which selects the first code set to use.

(2)Every special character is specified by a combination of two characters: a brace “{“ followed by one character. A brace “{“ itself is sent twice consecutively.

SPECIAL CHARACTERS:

<Example>

To print “No.” in code set B, followed by “123456” in code set C, send the following data string:

GS k <73><10><7Bh 42h> “No.” <7Bh 43h><12><34><56>

If the printer finds a string of bar code data that does not begin with a code set select character, it immediately aborts the command processing and handles the subsequent data as normal data.

If the printer received a character that is not available in the currently selected code set, it immediately aborts the command processing and handles the subsequent data as normal data.

An HRI character corresponding to either a Shift character or a code select character is not printed. An HRI character for either a function character or a control character is treated as a space character.

[Sample Program]

PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1D) + “H” + CHR$(2);

PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1D) + “k”;

PRINT #1, CHR$(4);

PRINT #1, “123” + CHR$(0);

END

[Print Results]
