Chapter 11 Introduction

This may cause conflict with other emulations, since the above commands may have different functions in these emulations. For example:

SI

Condensed print

DC4

Reset expanded print

ESC P <n> Proportional spacing ON/OFF

ESC P

Pica

In Barcode Mode, the barcode sequences have priority.

The barcode interpreter can be swited on or off with the MTPL sequences ESC [? 11 ~ (Barcode ON) and ESC [ ? 10 ~ (Barcode OFF). The typical transmission procedure should take place as follows:

Barcode Interpreter ON

Transmit mode specification (barcode header, LCP header, secured/ unsecured mode,...)

Transmit barcode / LCP

Barcode OFF

NOTE: The mode specifications are saved temporarily and must only be sent to the printer once. The specification remains valid until the printer is switched off.

Note the following explanatory information:

Every sequence description begins with a header in which the function and short form of the sequence of the barcode Types are listed, e.g.:

2/5 Matrix

Type A

 

 

The header is followed by the data structure in ASCII, hexadecimal and decimal representation with the necessary parameters, e.g.:
