Barcodes
Barcodes can be printed either vertically or horizontally from 01 to 2 .55 inches
high. The Barcode styles can now be defined individuall y.

Data Limi ts

No limits are imposed by your printer. However, Barcode readers are typi cally
limited to 32 characters.

Check Digits

No limits for Type 1. Type 2 encodes one check digit at the end of the
character string.

Emulation Limitations

Your printer does not support the full ASCII character set in this emulation. If a
character outside of the specified character set is received, it is encoded as a
solid black character. It is possible to encode the character pair representation
of all characters in the full ASCII set (see Ta b l e 6). For example, if your reader
is in the full ASCII Mode, a lower-case “a” may be encoded by usi ng +A (see
Tab l e 6, top of column 4). Any of the lowe r-case letters may be represented
by a “+” followed by the corresponding letter.
