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.
