4.Send the printer the End Barcode command.

This command tells the printer to print all subsequent data as characters, not barcode symbols.

Send

LPRINT CHR$(1); “AzLØ”;

to return to text mode.

If you have problems printing barcodes, use the hex dump mode, a binary editor, and/or a BASIC utility to verify and debug your command string.

For best results, use the commands SOH AzM and SOH AzL to format and print barcodes. These commands are explained on the following pages. They are valid in any emulation mode.

Note: Zeroes contained within control commands, such as ESC [Øt, are written as Ø to differentiate the number zero from the capital letter "O."

For PostNet, make sure "Barcode Density" in the configuration menu is set to 100 dpi.

For information on how to send the data byte values used in barcode commands to the printer, refer to the section titled "Control Commands— An Introduction." That same section also provides a listing of the typographic conventions used with the barcode commands.
