Appendix–73
• When EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter “t5”
or “T5”:
Ten numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data.
The number of characters for bar codes is limited as follows.
EAN 8: Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit)
EAN 13: Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit)
UPC A: Total 12 digits (11 digits + 1 check digit)
A number of characters other than above causes data error and the bar
code data is printed as normal print data. If the check digit is
incorrect, the printer calculates the correct check digit automatically
so that the correct bar code data will be printed. When EAN13 is
selected, adding “+” and a 2-or 5-digit number after the data can
create an add-on code.
• When UPC-E is selected with the parameter “t6” or “T6”:
The numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data.
(1) 8 digits Standard format. The first character
must be “0” and the data must be terminated by
a check digit.
Total 8 digits = “0” + 6 digits + 1 check digit.
(2) 6 digits The first character and the last
check digit are removed from the 8 digit data.
*1: For 8 digits, “?” can be used in place of a check digit.
*2: Adding “+” and 2- or 5-digit number after the data creates
an add-on code for all 6 and 8 digit formats.
• When Codabar is selected with the parameter “t9” or “T9”:
Characters “0” to “9”, “-”, “ . ”, “$”, “/”, “+”, “ : ” can be printed.
Characters “A” to “D” can be printed as a start-stop code, which can
be uppercase or lowercase. If there is no start-stop code, errors occur.
A check digit cannot be added and using “?” causes errors.
• When Code 128 Set A, Set B, or Set C is selected with the parameter
“t12” or “T12,” “t13” or “T13,” or “t14” or “T14” respectively:
Code 128 sets A, B and C are individually selectable. Set A encodes
characters Hex 00 … 5F. Set B encodes characters Hex 20 … 7F. Set
C encodes numeric pairs 00 … 99. Switching is allowed between the
code sets by sending %A, %B, or %C. FNC 1, 2, 3, and 4 are
produced with %1, %2, %3, and %4. The SHIFT code, %S, allows
temporary switching (for 1 character only) from set A to set B and
vice versa. The “%” character can be encoded by sending it twice.
