Function 4 Char. Sets: A, B Enter: ~203
Character sets A and B consist of characters 0-127 of the ASCII chart. However,
using function 4, you can access characters 128-256. For example, the character
“a” is ASCII 97. By preceding “a” with ~203 in your data, you change the “a” to
ASCII 225 (97+128). A single ~203 shifts only the next character. Two ~203’s
shift the data until the end of the bar code or until another two ~203’s appear.
Line Fields
The lines you print can be vertical or horizontal. You can also create boxes. See
“Creating a Box Field” in Chapter 3 for more information.
NOTE:Thick lines use more battery power during printing.

graphics.
