		00–FF
75	PDF 417	0–255	Variable length
		00–FF
78	Code EAN 128 auto compress	0–255	Variable length
		00–FF
79	PDF 417	0–255	Variable length
		00–FF	0 < n < 2800
		data length specified via
		integer n = nH:nL 1D 6B m nL nH d1 . . . dn

The value of m selects the bar code system as described in the table.

The variable d indicates the character code to be encoded into the specified bar code system. If character code d cannot be encoded, the printer prints the bar code data processed so far, and the following data is treated as normal data.
