This appendix describes the printer's bar code symbologies (formats) and
explains how to configure the printer to print bar codes. For program-
ming information, refer to the AMT Datasouth Bar Code Option
Operating Guide (part no. 337027) sold separately by AMT Datasouth.
A bar code symbol consists of parallel lines and spaces of varying widths
or heights. The bar code symbology describes unambiguous rules for
encoding data into the bars and spaces.
Bar Code Symbologies
The printer supports the following bar code symbologies:
Interleaved 2-of-5. This is a variable-length, self-checking numeric
bar code mainly used in the distribution industry.
Code 3-of-9. This is a variable-length, self-checking, alphanumeric
bar code widely used in the automotive industry and many other non-
retail industries.
