Printing Basic Bar Codes

These bar codes can be automatically printed with the use of a few simple bar code sequences. The height of the bar codes is easily varied. Additionally, the dimensions of the bars and spaces may be varied to produce bar codes of different widths and ratios.

Horizontal and vertical positioning sequences allow precise placement of a bar code on a label, or placement of multiple bar codes across and down the page.

A form feed will advance the paper to the top of the next form. Some programs do not send form feeds. Instead, they count line feeds, and send the appropriate number of line feeds to fill out the page. The usual rational is that the program is then in complete control of form length, and will work on any printer without requiring the correct form length to be set. However, the correct form length should always be set with the control panel setup. Even if the program does not use form feeds, the printer will automatically scroll a completed form up to the tear bar to be torn off. This automatic scroll is based upon form length. The easiest way to set form length is via the “Form Length” value in the forms menu so it will be correctly set for everyone using the form Vertical PositionForm Length and Form Feed Line FeedHorizontal Tabs Vertical TabsPrinter Controls Horizontal TabESC ESC n EmulationsSelect Software Interface n Control Codes and Escape Sequences Sorted Alphabetically Simple TTY EmulationPRINTEK EMULATION IntroductionPrintek Emulation Control Codes and Escape Sequences Grouped by Function CommunicationsEnd of Text Deselect PrinterDouble-Wide Mode Character SizeSet Character Spacing ESC W nEmphasized Mode Double-Strike ModeUnderline Mode Character AttributesCharacter Sets Select FontPrint Single Character ESC \ nLine Pitch Horizontal PositionVertical Position Set Line Spacing to n/288”Form Length and Form Feed Reverse Line FeedSet Form Length in Lines Form FeedHorizontal Tabs Horizontal TabSet Horizontal Tab Stops ESC HT n1 n2 ... nx NULReset Horizontal and Vertical Tab Stops Vertical TabsHorizontal and Vertical Tabs Vertical TabESC H n1 n2 Horizontal MarginsSet Left and Right Margin Vertical Margins GraphicsSet Top and Bottom Margins ESC V n1 n2Printek Emulation m DPI GraphicsUnidirectional Mode Printer Controlsm DPI Graphics BellReset Automatic ModesAuto Cut Cut FormESC L n Forms and TractorsLoad Form ESC ESC n EmulationsSelect Software Interface n Control Codes and Escape Sequences Sorted Alphabetically ESC # m n1 n2 dataESC * m n1 n2 data ESC HT n1 n2 ... nx NULGENICOM 3840 AND 3410 ANSI EMULATION IntroductionESC f no numeric parametersGenicom 3840 and 3410 ANSI Emulation Control Codes and Escape Sequences Grouped by Function CommunicationsCharacter Size End of TextCharacter Set Font And Print ModesSelects print modes and fonts Partial Line Down SubscriptHorizintal Position Superscript PrintingSuperscript Printing Carriage ReturnReset Auto CR ON LF ESC plHorizontal Position Backwards ESC pjVertical Position Line FeedESC D IndexHoriztonal Tab Vertical And Horiztonal Position AbsoluteVertical Position Backwards Horiztonal TabVertical Tab Set Horiztonal Tab StopClear Tabs ESC PsgDefault Values Forms SetupForms Setup Margin SetupGraphics Mode GraphicsHexidemical Form FeedPrinter Control Oversized Font/Bar Code ModeReset Graphics DensityPaper Shear ANSI Bar CodesPaper Shear ANSI Bar CodesSoftware Options That Affect Barcodes Ignore CharacterBarcode Options Barcode Optionsp1 selects Paper PathPaper Path Emulations Select Software Interface nn Software Interface ESC ESC nVertical and Horizontal Position Absolute Control Codes and Escape Sequences Sorted AlphabeticallyOversize Font / Graphic Size Modification Genicom 3840 and 3410 ANSI Emulation CONFIGURATION DOWNLOAD Remote Setup Line Definitions Configuration DownloadParallelInterface Remote Setup Example File HEX DUMP MODE Page PRINTING BASIC BAR CODES IntroductionPrinting Basic Bar Codes Measurements in Bar Code Mode Entering/Exiting Bar Code ModeBar Code Sequences BAR CODE SEQUENCEPrinting Basic Bar Codes The Bar Code Control CharacterOther Control Characters Bar Code Definition BNxccc...cGExample ExamplePrinting Basic Bar Codes BNf12345GBN9xddddccc...cG Variable Width Bar Code DefinitionExample Printing Basic Bar Codes BNa12345GBar Code Height ExampleTwo Character Sequence Identifier for Range is 01 to 99 0.1 to 9.9 inchesExample To print a bar code that is only 0.1 inch high H01BNe12345GExample ExampleRelative Vertical Tab Absolute Horizontal TabJttd ExamplePrinting Basic Bar Codes H02BNd01GT0200BNd02GT0400BNd03GExample Bar Code Pass TerminatorExample Example Mixing Bar Codes and TextExample Description of Supported Bar Code Types Page ASCII CHARACTER TABLES ASCII Control Code DefinitionsASCII Character Tables Epson FX Fast Draft Epson FX Draft Epson FX Letter QualityASCII Character Tables PC Fast Draft PC Draft PC Letter QualityASCII Character Tables EBCDIC Fast Draft EBCDIC Draft EBCDIC Letter QualityLatin 2 Slavic Letter Quality ASCII Character TablesLatin 2 Slavic Fast Draft Latin 2 Slavic Draft ASCII Character Tables OCR A OCR B ML EuroML Euro ASCII Character TablesDecimal to Octal to Hexadecimal Conversion Table ASCII Character TablesHexASCII HexASCIIPRINTER RESET CONDITIONS cleared unless reset from hostcontrol character symbols text in an incomplete linePage GLOSSARY Glossary
