Code ESC i
Dec 27 105
Hex 1B 69
Format: ESC i n … n \
Creates bar codes or expanded characters according to the segment of
parameters “n … n”. For further information about parameters, see the
following “Definition of Parameters.” This command must end with the
“ \ ” code (5CH).
[Definition of Parameters]
This bar code command can have the following parameters in the parameter
segment (n … n). Since parameters are effective within the single command
syntax ESC i n … n \, they don’t take effect in the subsequent bar code
commands. If certain parameters are not specified, they take the default
settings. The last parameter must be the bar code data start (“b” or “B”) or
the expanded character data start (“l” or “L”). Other parameters can be
specified in any sequence. The prefix of each parameter can be a lower-case
or upper-case character: for example, “t0” or “T0”, “s3” or “S3”, etc.
■ Bar Code Mode
n = “t0” or “T0” CODE 39 (default)
n = “t1” or “T1” Interleaved 2 of 5
n = “t3” or “T3” FIM (US-Post Net)
n = “t4” or “T4” Post Net (US-Post Net)
n = “t5” or “T5” EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A
n = “t6” or “T6” UPC E
n = “t9” or “T9” Codabar
n = “t12” or “T12” Code 128 set A
n = “t13” or “T13” Code 128 set B
n = “t14” or “T14” Code 128 set C
n = “t130” or “T130” ISBN (EAN)
n = “t131” or “T131” ISBN (UPC-E)
n = “t132” or “T132” EAN 128 set A
n = “t133” or “T133” EAN 128 set B
n = “t134” or “T134” EAN 128 set C
This parameter selects the bar code mode as above. When n is “t5” or
“T5”, the bar code mode (EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A) varies according
to the number of characters in the data.
