Printing Labels with 86XX-Compatible Code 39

74
Note: This section applies to the PF/PM/PX series printers only.
If you are using a PF/PM/PX series printer, and are having trouble printing
Code 39 labels designed for an 86XX printer, use the "Emulation or
Advanced Mode on Power-Up" command to place the printer in Legacy
Emulation mode. In this mode:
• Code 39 characters are interpreted as 86XX-compatible Code 39
characters. For example, the characters $, / +, and % are encoded as $, /,
+, and % instead of as /D, /O, /K, and /E.
• Fonts 23 and 24 are bitmap fonts instead of TrueDoc fonts.
• Fonts 25, 26, and 28 are Speedo fonts instead of TrueDoc fonts.
• Fonts 20, 21, 22, and 30 through 41 are generated from the
corresponding Speedo fonts.
For more information, see the "Emulation or Advanced Mode on Power-
Up" command in the IPL Command Reference Manual.
