This may cause conflict with other emulations, since the above commands may have dif- ferent 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 switched 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
The mode specifications is saved temporarily and must only be sent to the printer once. The specification remains valid until the printer is switched off.
Please 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 repre- sentation with the necessary parameters, e.g.:
ASCII | DC4 | start code | n ... | n | stop code | DC4 |
hex. | 14 | start code | n ... | n | stop code | 14 |
dec. | 20 | start code | n ... | n | stop code | 20 |
