KIX barcode

USPS Intelligent Mail
barcode
The KIX barcode prints numeric values from 0 to 9 and alphanumer-
ic values from A to Z as barcode characters.
After activating this barcode type, numeric characters from 0 (hex.
30) to 9 (hex. 39) and alphanumeric values from A (hex. 41) to Z
(hex. 5A) are interpreted as barcode figures. Lower cases from a
(hex. 61) to z (hex. 7a) are automatically converted to capital char-
acters. Control characters from hex. 0 (dec. 0) to hex.1F (dec. 31)
terminates this barcode mode. All other characters are ignored. Ex-
ception: the TAB function (hex. 09) is allowed within Barcode mode.
The KIX sequence is accessible in MTPL emulation. The printer
prints barcode in LQ.
The character (e.g. CR = carriage return, hex. 0D), which termi-
nates the barcode is not printed or carried out.
KIX barcode does not require a barcode bracket.
Example: ASCII ESC [ 2 k
HEX
1b 5b 32 6b 53 4f 33 36 58 59 31 41 0D
The characters "SO36XY1A" are printed as KIX stripes.
The USPS Intelligent Mail barcode is a 4-state barcode which works
in MTPL, IBM, Epson and ANSI emulation. 4-state barcode data
must be converted into only 0, 1, 2 or 3. Each number represents
one of the four possible bars. Tabs (Hex 09) and spaces can sepa-
rate either the bars or the barcodes horizontal, but every other char-
acter unser Hex 20 will terminate barcode mode.
You can enter the barcode mode with the sequence ESC [ ? 11 ~,
the sequence ESC [ 10 ~ exits the barcode mode.
Example: ASCII ESC [ 9 SP k <data>
HEX
1b 5b 39 02 6b <data>
