E-12 Appendix E—Barcodes

ENTERING BARCODE DATA

Barcode symbols are printed one line at a time. A line may contain one or many symbols.

To print a line containing a single barcode symbol, enter a sequence of characters terminated by a carriage return. For example:

1987<CR>

To print a line containing multiple symbols, enter multiple sequences of valid characters separated by commas, spaces, or horizontal tabs, depending on the barcode. Terminate each line with a carriage return. For example:

1985,1986,1987,1988<CR>

If a single symbol is too long to fit on a single line, the printer prints a pattern of all bars, an invalid symbol. For lines with multiple symbols, each symbol that fits in its entirety is printed correctly and the remainder are printed using a pattern of all bars or discarded, as space allows.
