• If the object type set in the specified object number is not the bar code/2D code, the laser marker returns the negative
response.
• Refer to "2-3-5 Character data input method" (P.37) for details on the character input method and character types with
input restrictions.
• The characters input by this command are converted to the 2-byte characters automatically.
• Depending on the barcode/2D code type, acceptable characters may be restricted to either single-byte characters or
double-byte characters. In this case, the input characters are automatically converted to the accepted type.
• When the code data is set in the several string No., the characters in each string No. are connected together in
numerical order without linefeed to create the code data.
• When the code data is set in the several string No., the total input characters should be 299 digits or less.
• In BCS command you can use GS: 1D (HEX) as "FNC1" and as the separator of the Application identifiers. In the code
data it is shown as "FNC1". For the response data for readout, it is readout as "GS".
• To set other control codes than GS or FNC1, use BRS command.
• If the readout data includes characters that cannot be expressed in ASCII code such as Japanese characters (2-byte
character), only these 2-byte characters are read out in shift JIS code.
• When the character strings set with the functional character are readout, the setting of the functional character starting
with % are read out. The characters to mark as the functional characters, such as the counter or date and time values,
are not read out.
• With LP-400/V compatible command mode, you cannot readout the character strings with more than 61-byte length.
• With LP-400/V compatible command mode, you cannot set and readout the strings for PDF417, iQR code, QR code for
Chinese characters (GB/T 18284), and CODE93.
• With LP-400/V compatible command mode, you cannot set and readout the strings for QR code with the mode setting
"Auto".
