Font Selection
You may select either of the US POSTNET character sets from the front
panel, or through escape sequences. (Refer to your User's Manual for details
on front panel menus.)
The following escape sequence will configure the 4.0 cpi POSTNET BAR
CODE as a secondary font:
ESC)0K
ESC)0KESC)s4.0H
The sequence above sets the secondary font symbol set to 4.0 cpi POSTNET
BAR CODE, and sets the pitch to 4.0 cpi. Once the Secondary character set
is configured for 4.0 CPI Postnet Bar Codes, the Shift Out command can be
used to activate the bar codes:
Shift Out:
After the bar code is printed, the normal print mode is activated by using the
Shift In command:
Shift In:
Note It is recommended setting the US POSTNET Bar Code character set as
the secondary set, with the normal operation mode as the primary font.
