Citizen CT-S300 manual Special characters Hex, Code Set a Code Set B Code Set C

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

Hex.	ASCII	Code Set A	Code Set B	Code Set C
7B53	{ S	SHIFT	SHIFT	–N/A
7B41	{ A	–N/A	CODE A	CODE A
7B42	{ B	CODE B	–N/A	CODE B
7B43	{ C	CODE C	CODE C	–N/A
7B31	{ 1	FNC1	FNC1	FNC1
7B32	{ 2	FNC2	FNC2	–N/A
7B33	{ 3	FNC3	FNC3	–N/A
7B34	{ 4	FNC4	FNC4	–N/A
7B7B	{ {	‘ { ‘	‘ { ‘	‘ { ‘

<Example>

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

GS k <73> <10> <7B>H <42>H, “No.” <7B>H <43>H <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]

LPRINT CHR$(&H1D);"H";CHR$(2);

LPRINT CHR$(&H1D);"k";

LPRINT CHR$(4);

LPRINT "123";CHR$(0);
