[Supplementary Explanation]
1. The inter-character pitch of the barcode is valid at CODABAR (NW-7), CODE39, Industrial 2of5 and Matrix 2of5.
The barcode inter-character pitch is set by specifying the character pitch <P> immediately before.
If not set, the inter-character pitch will be of the same size as a space command.
Command Ratio
<BD> 2:5
2. For print data of each barcode type, refer to the code tables of barcode.
3. The barcode translation of following codes will be restricted to conditions below: JAN/EAN8, JAN/EAN13, UPC-A
In case of 8 dots/mm (203dpi)
In case of 12 dots/mm (305dpi)
In case of 24 dots/mm (609dpi)
HRI will not be printed if the value other than the listed above is specified.
[Notes]
1. If the value other than valid range is set, command error will occur and barcode will not be printed.
2.Barcode will be printed even if the data exceed the printable area.
3. Increasing narrow bar width may exceed the print area.
4. Scanner may not read the barcode with valid character pitch when Character Pitch <P> is increased.
Also, increasing the narrow bar width may cause the same type of problem. For more information, refer to the
documentation of your scanner.
5. For specifying the narrow bar width, consider the reading compatibility of scanner and head density beforehand.
6. Adjust Print Speed <CS> or Print Darkness <#F> in case of scanner reading problem.
7. Matrix 2of5 will be expressed as Coop2of5/NEC2of5.
8. If Start/Stop character is not included in print data at the time of CODABAR (NW-7) or CODE39 specified, barcode
will be printed; however, scanner cannot read it.
9. If sending the print data including check digit at the time of JAN/EAN-13 or JAN/EAN-8 specified, set the correct
calculated value. Barcode will be printed even when the data includes improper check digit; however, scanner
cannot read it.
