Special Notes | SATO 410, 400 specification

		Section 4. Programming Reference
Special Notes	1.	UPC and EAN bar codes are not affected by the different types of
		narrow to wide ratios. Instead, the <ESC>D command adds
		descender bars to these codes where needed to meet UPC
		specifications. The <ESC>BD command puts decender bars and
		human readable text below the symbol.
	2.	The Code 128, UCC 128, MSI, and Code 93 bar codes are not
		affected by the narrow to wide ratios.
	3.	The Codabar, Code 39, Industrial 2 of 5, and Matrix 2 of 5 bar
		codes are affected by the Character Pitch command. This
		command must be placed before the Bar Code command.
	4.	See Appendix B for more specific instructions and detailed
		information regarding individual bar code symbols.
	5.	Because of their unique characteristics, two-dimensional symbols
		are covered separately.
	6.	For UCC128, the FNC1 code is automatically inserted and the Mod
		10 and Mod 103 check digits are automatically calculated.
	7.	The <ESC>D and <ESC>BD commands are not valid for the MSI,
		Code 128, Code 93, UPC-E, Bookland, UCC128 and Postnet
		symbologies.
