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
