●Parameter
a [Postal code] = Numeral
n[Print data] = Data (Block number) [Maximum 13 digits]
[Coding example] Postal code: 3310043, Print data: 1-207

[Supplemental explanation]
1. Only Alphanumeric and a hyphen can be specified as print data. (See the code table.)
2. When alphabet is specified for print data, data is recognized as 2 digits (Control code and Alphabet font code), and
be sure the print data not to exceed 13 digits.
3. When alphabet is specified for the print data, one alphabet is handled as 2 digits data (Control code + Numeric
code). When ten alphabet characters [ABCDEFGHIJ] are specified as print data, first 6 characters of [ABCDEF]
become 12 digits data (control code + numeric code: 2 digits x 6 characters). For the seventh character [G], the
control code of "control code + numeric code" stays in 13 digits and is valid, but numeric code is the 14th digits and
invalid. The 8th character and later [HIJ] exceed 13 digits and become invalid.
e.g. [ABCDEFGHIJ]
(1) [ABCDEF]: Six characters x 2 digits (Control code + numeric code), total 12 digits
All six data are valid.
(2) [G]: One character x 2 digits (Control code + numeric code), total 2 digits
The control code is valid because it is within 13 digits, and the numeric code is invalid because it is the
14th digits.
(3) [HIJ]: Three characters x 2 digits (Control code + numeric code), total 6 digits
All invalid because of exceeding 14 digits.
4. Start/Stop character and C/D will be added automatically.
5. When the number of print data is less than 13 digits, the control code (CC4) will be added automatically. When the
number of print data exceeds 13 digits, the data from the 14th digits become invalid.
6. When specifying parameter other than above or the number of print data is not matched, the barcode may not be
printed properly or the scanner cannot read it.
