[. . . ] For UPC-A or UPC-E, the bar code is printed when 12 bytes of bar code data have been entered, and the subsequent data is handled as normal data. For JAN13, the bar code is printed when 13 bytes of bar code data have been entered, and the subsequent data is handled as normal data. For JAN8, the bar code is printed when 8 bytes of bar code data have been entered, and the subsequent data is handled as normal data. Should the data have an odd number of columns, the last column is ignored. For (2): Numeral "n" indicates the number of data items, and the subsequent "n" bytes of data are handled as bar code data. If "n" is out of the range, the processing of the command is aborted, and the subsequent data is handled as normal data. For STANDARD MODE: If "d" is out of the range, only a paper feed is executed, and the subsequent data is handled as normal data. If the bar code is wider than the print area for one line, the bar code is not printed, but only a paper feed is executed. The amount of paper feed corresponds to the height of the bar code (including the HRI characters if HRI character printing is specified), irrespective of the line feed width set by a command such as ESC 2 or ESC 3. If any data exists in the print buffer, the data subsequent to "m" is handled as normal data. After the bar code is printed, the beginning of the line is taken as the start position for the next print.

Code set C Two-digit numbers 00 - 99 can each be represented by one character. In addition to the above characters, special characters are available: Shift character (SHIFT) When used in code set A, one character next to a Shift character is treated as a character of code set B. When used in code set B, one character next to a Shift character is treated as a character of code set A. Code set select characters (CODE A, CODE B, CODE C): The code set following a code set select character is switched to code set A, B, or C. Function characters (FNC1, FNC2, FNC3, FNC4): How the function characters are used depends on each application. In code set C, only FNC1 is available. - 79 - When sending print data, note these points: (1) Each string of bar code data must begin with a code set select character (CODE A, CODE B, or CODE C), which selects the first code set to use. (2) Every special character is specified by a combination of two characters: a brace "{" followed by one character. 7B53 7B41 7B42 7B43 7B31 7B32 7B33 7B34 7B7B ASCII {S {A {B {C {1 {2 {3 {4 {{ Code Set A SHIFT N/A CODE B CODE C FNC1 FNC2 FNC3 FNC4 `{` Code Set B SHIFT CODE A N/A CODE C FNC1 FNC2 FNC3 FNC4 `{` Code Set C N/A CODE A CODE B N/A FNC1 N/A N/A N/A `{` <Example> To print "No. " in code set B, followed by "123456" in code set C, send the following data string: GS k <73> <10> <7B>H <42>H, "No. " <7B>H <43>H <12> <34> <56> If the printer finds a string of bar code data that does not begin with a code set select character, it immediately aborts the command processing and handles the subsequent data as normal data. If the printer received a character that is not available in the currently selected code set, it immediately aborts the command processing and handles the subsequent data as normal data. An HRI character corresponding to either a Shift character or a code select character is not printed.
