Bar Code Pass Terminator

The sequence used to terminate a bar code pass is ^-.

A bar code pass may contain vertical tabs (should precede all bar code definitions), height specification, bar code definitions, horizontal tabs, etc. Until the bar code pass terminator is received, no bar codes will be printed. When the pass terminator is received, all bar codes defined for the pass will be printed.

The following examples will help clarify use of the pass terminator. Note the very different results obtained by omitting or inserting the pass terminators.

Example:

To print multiple bar codes across the page.

^H02^BNd01^G^T0200^BNd02^G^T0400^BNd03^G^- (Correct)

^H02^BNd01^G^-^T0200^BNd02^G^-^T0400^BNd03^G^- (Incorrect)

Example:

To print multiple bar codes down the page.

^H02^BNd01^G^-^J010^BNd02^G^-^J010^BNd03^G^-(Correct)

^H02^BNd01^G^J010^BNd02^G^J010^BNd03^G^-(Incorrect)

Note that one bar code pass may not contain multiple bar codes separated by vertical tabs.
