Data
Print
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 code is sent to sending print data, the start/stop
code is also counted as a digit. 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 to the bar code table mentioned later.
(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.
Up to 20 fields can be linked.
The following shows an example of linked fields on the two continuous labels.
