9. Bar code and enlarged character

Error processing

If a character code that is not valid for the selected bar code type is input, the character code is not converted into a bar code symbol but is printed as a character. If the bar code has a start or stop character added to the HRI, the start or stop character is printed.

’ is printed instead of an invalid character.

If an incorrect number of data are input to form a bar code which should have a specific number of data, are input data is not converted into a bar code symbol but is printed as is.

If incorrect data is input in the UPC-A format and cannot be converted into the UPC-E format, the input data is not converted into a bar code symbol but is printed as is. (For the rules of converting the UPC-A format into the UPC-E format, see “UPC-E conversion rule” below.)

Code 128 subset transition rule

The following shows the transition conditions from subset A to subset B.

1.Input a character code unique to subset B (60H to 7FH) when subset A is selected.

2.Then input a character code unique to subset B (60H to 7FH) without inputting a character code unique to subset A (00H to 1FH). (If a character code unique to subset A is input in this step, subset B is not selected. The character code unique to subset B input in step 1 is expressed with the shift code.)

The following shows the transition conditions from subset B to subset A.

1.Input a character code unique to subset A when subset B is selected.

2.Then input a character code unique to subset A without inputting a character code unique to subset B. (If a character code unique to subset B is input in this step, subset A is not selected. The character code unique to subset A input in step 1 is expressed with the shift code.)

Subset C is selected when four continuous character codes (30H to 39H) are input.

If a code common to subset A and subset B is input when a subset is not determined or subset C is selected, subset B is selected temporarily selected.
