Code 39
Purpose To specify a Code 39 bar code field.
Syntax c0
Supported Based on testing, this command works the same on the Zebra printer with
APL-I firmware as on the 3400D printer.
Notes This command has one argument, m for mode, which defaults to 0.
These are the types of Code 39 that are supported:
•Full ASCII
43 Character
8646 compatible
8646 Compatible is the same as full ASCII with the exception of four characters (the “+”, “/”,
“%”, “$” are used as single characters rather than used as “/K”, “/O”, “/E”, “/D” ). This
version makes it backward compatible with the 86XX printers.
These are the supported Code 39 bar code modes:
m Code 39 Mode

Syntax c1
Supported Based on testing, this command works the same on the Zebra printer with

There are no arguments for the Code 93 bar code.
If a string has an odd number of characters, the printer automatically adds a zero.
