B Command - Bar Code

Data with the RTC The “Data” field can be replaced by or com- Time & Date bined with the following variables:

Functions

TT= Prints the current time at this position in the predefined format. See the TT com- mand for format selection. This variable is available only if the printer Time & Date option is installed.

TD =Prints the current date at this position in the predefined format. See the TD command for format selection. This variable is available only if the printer Time & Date option is in- stalled.

Some bar code formats will not support date names or the date or time delimiters used by the printer to separate

Code 128 Bar Code The printer supports code 128 function control Function Characters characters (FCN#). Multiple FCN#s, TTs, TDs and “DATA” strings can be concatenated, al- lowing them to be inserted anywhere within the

symbol.

FCN2, FCN3 and FCN4 are illegal in code 128 mode C (p4 = 1C) and will result in a syn- tax error.

Please refer to the Code 128 standard for a de- scription of function characters FNC1 through FNC3.

“Standard” Code 128 can encode all 128 stan- dard ASCII characters (0-127). Function char- acter FCN4 provides a means of also encoding extended ASCII characters (128-255). It directs the reader to add 128 to the value of each af- fected character before transmitting it.

Two consecutive FCN4s toggle between stan- dard and extended ASCII mode for all succeed- ing data characters (until the end of the symbol, or until another pair of s is encountered). This is referred to as latching into extended ASCII mode or latching into standard ASCII mode.
