Chapter 7 Barcodes

Barcodes

Barcodes can be printed either vertically or horizontally from 01 to 2.55 inches high. The Barcode styles can now be defined individually.

Data Limits

No limits are imposed by your printer. However, Barcode readers are typically 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 Table 6). For example, if your reader is in the full ASCII Mode, a lower-case “a” may be encoded by using +A (see Table 6, top of column 4). Any of the lower-case letters may be represented by a “+” followed by the corresponding letter.
