The leading zero(s) in a data row is replaced by a space(s) according to the designated
number of digits. However, if the number of digits to be suppressed is greater than the
data row, the data row will be drawn without zero suppression. Where the data row
exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data row will not be drawn.
When the print data including start/stop codes are sent to sending print data, the
start/stop codes are also counted as a digit each. When the bar code type is JAN, EAN,
UPC, or UCC/EAN 128, the data will be drawn without zero suppression.
(13) Data string to be printed
Drawing data can be programmed by designating the number of digits after the symbol
“=.” The maximum number of digits to be printed varies according to the types of bar
codes. For codes, refer chapter 13 “BAR CODE TABLE”.
(14) Link field No.
The link field No. can be programmed by designating it after the symbol “;.” After the link
field No. is designated using the Format Command, the data string are linked by the Link
Field Data Command to draw an image.
