Tally Genicom Matrix Printer manual Example

Example

If you need to print a Carriage Return (hex.0D, dec.13), as part of a barcode, you need to send ">M" (13 + 64 = 77, see character set table to verify that decimal 77 equals the capi- tal letter "M"). This substitution process can be carried out throughout the range of deci- mal values, i.e., ">d" (decimal 100) equates to the dollar symbol (decimal 36). If the grea- ter-than symbol itself must be transmitted, send ">0" (the 0 will not be part of the printed data).

The Code 128 barcode style selection can also be done manually. This is done by adding a style selection character to the beginning of the barcode data. Choose code A, B, or C from the table of special characters below:

Special Character	Code 128
">0"	30 (">")
">1"	95
">2"	96
">3"	97
">4"	98
">5"	99 (Code C)
">6"	100 (Code B)
">7"	101 (Code A)
">8"	102

When a style selection has been made, character data will be translated from the selec- ted code style to the Code 128 repesentation. The translation table on the following page summarizes this:
