(11) Zero suppression
No. of digits after zero
suppression
Data
Print
Zero(s) in a data row is replaced with a space(s) from the upper digits, according to the
designated number of digits. However, if the number of digits after zero suppression is
greater than the data row, the data row will be drawn without performing 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 codes are sent, the start/stop codes are also
counted as a digit each.
When the barcode type is JAN, EAN, UPC, UCC/EAN 128 or EAN128, the data will be
drawn without performing zero suppression.
(12) 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 type of barcode.
For codes, refer to the barcode table mentioned later.
(13) 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 strings 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.
