EAN bar codes may not correctly print the bar code.

Standard Syntax Guidelines for Batches
Read the standard syntax guidelines and note the additional items
for batches.
◆
A batch header must be the first record in your batch.
◆
For a batch header record or batch data, make sure the
number in the first parameter matches the number of the
format you are using.
◆
If you choose auto-naming (the printer assigns a batch name),
make sure there are no characters or spaces between the
beginning of string character (;) and the record separator (
p
).
◆
If the field is an incrementing field, you can enter any type of
characters; however, only the numeric data increments.
◆
Send the correct format to the printer before sending the
batch. Batch data without a defined format generates an error.
