check digits. Non-printable ASCII characters are represented in the "control code" format (for
example, CR is ^M, where "control" is represented as DARK-SQUARE symbol).

Bidirectional The BID-25 bar code data fields do not have a defined format length and
contain numeric data only. Otherwise, question marks are printed in place of the HRC string,
if possible. If the ocheck digit option field takes a value of 1, an internally generated check
digit is added to the encoded string that will not show on the required HRC string.
2of5 DC4 DC4 ESC ! n17pEM
Interleaved The 2/5-INTERLEAVED bar code does not have a defined format length.
However, the total sum of the characters must be even. nindicates the bar code height and
must be in the range 1 to 12. p must 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.
2of5 DC4 DC4 ESC ! n18pEM
Industrial The 2/5 INDUSTRIAL bar code. Data format length is variable and the supported
character set only provides ASCII numeric figures 0 to 9. 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.
2of5 DC4 DC4 ESC ! n19pEM
The 2/5 MATRIX bar code. Data format length is variable and the supported character set
only provides ASCII numeric figures 0 to 9. 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.
Code 39 DC4 DC4 ESC ! n20pEM
The CODE 39 bar code. Data format length is variable and must always start and end with
an asterisk. It can contain the alphanumeric character listed below:
0123456789
ABCDEFGHIJKL MNOP QRS T UVWX Y Z -. SPACE$/+%*(as start / stop character)
The parameter indicates the bar code height in units of 1/6 inch and must be in the range 1
to 12. The pparameter must be NUL (hex. X'00') if no Human Readable Characters are to be
printed, and 1 (hex. X'01') if they are to be printed.
CODABAR DC4 DC4 ESC ! n22pEM
The Codabar bar code data fields do not have a defined format length and contain data
belonging to the character set listed hereafter:
0123456789-$:/.+
ABCDEN T *abcdent (only as START/STOP characters)
The printer allows any combination of START/STOP characters. If the first and last
characters of the received string do not belong to the START/STOP characters subset,
question marks are printed in place of the HRC string, if possible
CODE 128 DC4 DC4 ESC ! n23pEM
The CODE-128 bar code data fields do not have a defined format length and contain data
belonging to the standard ASCII character set, including control codes. Since the GS and
EM control codes used within the DC4 DC4 ESC (...EM "Print Bar Code" control sequence
are part of the supported character set, the host application must SET THE HIGHER-
