EM = Check sequence terminator
Bar Code Description
EAN-8 DC4 DC4 ESC ! n1pEM
The EAN-8 bar code data field must only contain numeric data and must be eight bytes long
including the check digit. The EAN-8 character repertoire provides 0 to 9 ASCII numeric
figures. n indicates the bar code height in units of 1/6 inch and must be in the range 1 to 12.
pmust be NUL (hex. X'00') if no Human Readable Characters are to be printed, and 1 (hex.
X'01') if they are to be printed. The range of values for the nand pparameters can be
increased of 32 dec.
EAN-13 DC4 DC4 ESC ! n2pEM
The EAN-13 bar code data field must only contain numeric data and must be 13 bytes long
including the check digit. The EAN-13 character repertoire provides 0 to 9 ASCII numeric
figures. n indicates the bar code height in units of 1/6 inch and must be in the range 1 to 12.
If you want to print the Human Readable Characters, pmust have the value 1 (hex. X'01');
otherwise this value must be NUL (hex. X'00'). The range of values for the nand pparameters
can be increased of 32 dec.
UPC-A DC4 DC4 ESC ! n3pEM
The UPC-A bar code data field allows 10 numeric characters plus one system number digit
and one check digit at the leftmost and rightmost positions, respectively. The UPC-A
character repertoire provides 0 to 9 ASCII numeric figures. nindicates the bar code height in
units of 1/6 inch and must be in the range 1 to 12. pmust be NUL (hex. X'00') if no Human
Readable Characters are to be printed, and 1 (hex. X'01') if they are to be printed. The range
of values for the nand pparameters can be increased of 32 dec.
UPC-E DC4 DC4 ESC ! n4pEM
If 11-digit strings are received and the ocheck digit field is missing or takes values 0 or 2,
question marks are printed in place of the HRC string, when possible. If the ofield takes a
value of 1, the 12th digit is inserted by the printer as a result of the internally available
algorithm applied to the received string.
