IBM TF7 Printer User Manual


 
v This command will increment status byte 6.
v Printing will not start until X'00' is received, or the end of a data packet in
RS-485.
v Data after any invalid character for a particular bar code will be
discarded. The printer will continue to wait for X'00'.
v If X'00' or an invalid character is received before the required number of
data bytes, zeros will be inserted following the data until the required
number is reached (for UPC-A, UPC-E, JAN13, and JAN8).
v Excess characters will be discarded.
v A check digit will be generated if one is not supplied for UPC-A, JAN13,
and JAN8.
v Check digits will be figured and added for Code 128C and Code 93.
v For UPC-E, the printer will expand the data, generate a check digit and
parse the data before generating the bar code (6 or 7 digits are
executed). If 7 digits are received and digit 1 is 0, the last 6 digits are
used.
If digit 1 is not 0, digit 1 is used and the digit 7 is ignored.
v For CODABAR, a stop and start character is required.
v A leading zero will be added to the data for ITF bar codes if the data
received has an odd number of bytes.
v If a bar code width is greater than the paper width, the right of the bar
code is truncated, making the bar code unreadable.
v Barcodes printed on the document station are printed at a dot density of
150 dpi.
v Barcodes will always be printed in black, regardless of color printing
settings.
v CR station must be selected. If the DI station is selected, the command
is ignored and no error is reported.
