CHAPTER 8 ESC/POS MODE (INTERFACE COMMANDS)
B-EP
Series
8-66
Explanation
1
(1) This command ends with the [NUL] code.
(2) For UPC-A and UPC-E, upon the input of 12-byte barcode data, a barcode is
printed. The data subsequent to it is processed as normal data.
(3) For JAN13, upon the input of 13-byte barcode data, a barcode is printed. The data
subsequent to it is processed as normal data.
(4) For JAN8, upon the input of 8-byte barcode data, a barcode is printed. The data
subsequent to it is processed as normal data.
(5) The number of data items of ITF barcode must be an even number. If it is an odd
number, the final data will be ignored.
2
(1) n refers to the number of data items. n bytes from the subsequent data are
processed as barcode data.
(2) If n is out of the defined range, command processing will be aborted, and the
subsequent data will be processed as normal data.
[In
standard
mode]
(1) If d is out of the defined range, only paper feed will be performed, and the
subsequent data will be processed as normal data.
(2) If the width of a barcode exceeds the print area per line, it will not be guaranteed
that the barcode is printed properly.
(3) Paper will be fed over the length equivalent to the height of a barcode (including
HRI characters if HRI character printing is specified), regardless of a line feed
length defined by the 30-dot Line Feed Length Set Command ([ESC] 2) or Minimum
Dots for Line Feed Length Set Command ([ESC] 3).
(4) This command will be valid only if no data is present in the print buffer. If data is
present in the print buffer, the data subsequent to m will be processed as normal data.
(5) After a barcode is printed, the next print position is the beginning of a line.
(6) There is no impact upon print modes (bold printing, double printing, underlining, and
character size) except for inverted printing.
[In page mode]
(1) A barcode is expanded, but not printed. After the expansion of the barcode, the
dot subsequent to the final barcode data is the data expansion starting position.
(2) If d is out of the defined range, command processing will be aborted, and the
subsequent data will be processed as normal data. Note that the data expansion
starting position remains unchanged.
(3) If the width of a barcode exceeds the print area per line, it will not be guaranteed
that the barcode is printed properly.
