The valid data for each barcode type is described below. If i nvalid
data is included in the barcode data string, the barcode is not
printed.
The following conditions are required for barcode printing:
❏Barcode printing is always performed unidirectionally.
However, when it is mixed with raster bit image data, neith er
barcode nor raster bit image data is printed.
❏A barcode is not printed when part of the barcode extends
beyond the right margin.
❏When barcode data and text data are mixed in a data
sequence, barcodes and text are printed in the same place.
❏The start and stop (*) characters of Code 39 are added to
human readable characters.
❏The initial data of Code 128 (Set A, B, or C) is identified as the
first data of Code 128, and must be hexadecimal (41, 42, and
43, respectively).
❏When Code 128 Set C and Interleaved 2 of 5 are selected,
barcode data requires an even number data string. However,
if an odd number string is sent, a 0 is automatically added,
making it an even number data string.
❏The barcode print start position (except for POSTNET) is
always 40/360 inch above the baseline.
