Print surfaceA
The characteristics of the face side and reverse side of a sheet of paper may vary a little.
Usually, the opening side of the paper ream package is the print side. Follow the indications on the paper 
package. Typically, the print side is indicated by an arrow.
Moisture content
A
Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after manufacture. It is one of the important 
characteristics of the paper. This can change greatly depending on the storage environment, although usually 
paper contains about 5% water by weight. Because paper often absorbs water, the amount of water can 
sometimes be about 10% in a high humidity environment. When the amount of water increases, the 
characteristics of the paper changes greatly. The fixing of the toner may become worse. For storage of the 
paper and during use, we recommend that the humidity of the surrounding environment be between 50% and 
60%.

Quick reference for bar code control commands
(HL-3070CW only )
A
The printer can print bar codes in the HP LaserJet emulation modes.
Print bar codes or expanded charactersA
Format: ESC i n ... n \
Creates bar codes or expanded characters according to the segment of parameters ‘n ... n’. For more 
information about parameters, see the following Definition of Parameters. This command must end with the 
‘  ’ code (5CH).
Definition of parametersA
This bar code command can have the following parameters in the parameter segment (n ... n). As parameters 
are effective within the single command syntax ESC i n ... n \, they do not apply in the bar code commands. 
If certain parameters are not given, they take the preset settings. The last parameter must be the bar code 
data start (‘b’ or ‘B’) or the expanded character data start (‘l’ or ‘L’). Other parameters can be given in any 
sequence. Each parameter can start with a lower-case or upper-case character, for example, ‘t0’ or ‘T0’, ‘s3’ 
or ‘S3’ and so one.

A
This parameter shows whether the printer prints the human readable line below the bar code. Human 
readable characters are always printed with OCR-B font of 10 pitch and all the current character style 
enhancements are masked. The default setting is determined by the bar code mode selected by ‘t’ or ‘T’.
Quiet zoneA
n = ‘onnn’ or ‘Onnn’ (nnn = 0 ~ 32767)
Quiet zone is the space on both sides of the bar codes. Its width can be shown using the units that are set by 
the ‘u’ or ‘U’ parameter. (For the description of ‘u or ‘U parameter, see the next section.) The default setting 
of the quiet-zone width is 1 inch.

Line block drawing and box drawing i 1 dot
This parameter shows the height of bar codes or expanded characters as shown above. It can start with ‘h’, 
‘H’, ‘d’, or ‘D’. The height of bar codes is shown in the ‘u’- or ‘U’-specified unit. The default setting of the bar 
code height (12 mm, 18 mm or 22 mm) is determined by the bar code mode selected by ‘t’ or ‘T’.
Expanded character width, line block drawing and box drawingA
n = ‘wnnn’ or ‘Wnnn’
Expanded character i 1.2 mm
Line block drawing and box drawing i 1 dot
This parameter shows the width of expanded characters as shown above.
Expanded character rotationA
Bar code data startA
n = ‘b’ or ‘B’
Data that follows ‘b’ or ‘B’ is read in as bar code data. Bar code data must end with the ‘  ’ code (5CH), which 
also ends this command. The acceptable bar code data is determined by the bar code mode selected by ‘t’ 
or ‘T’.

When CODE 39 is chosen with the parameter ‘t0’ or ‘T0’
Forty three characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘Z’, ‘-’, ‘ . ’, ‘ (space)’, ‘$’, ‘ / ’, ‘+’, and ‘%’ can be accepted as bar code 
data. Other characters will cause a data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. The 
bar code data automatically starts and ends with an asterisk ‘ * ’ (start character and stop character). If the 
received data has an asterisk ‘ * ’ at the beginning or end, the asterisk is regarded as a start character or 
stop character.

When Interleaved 2 of 5 is selected with the parameter ‘t1’ or ‘T1’:
Ten numerical characters ‘0’ to ‘9’ can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters cause a data error. 
The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. This mode of bar codes needs even characters. If 
the bar code data has odd characters, ‘0’ is automatically added to the end of the bar code data. n = ‘a0’ or ‘A0’ ‘Upright (preset)
n = ‘a1’ or ‘A1’ ‘Rotated 90 degrees
n = ‘a2’ or ‘A2’ ‘Upside down, rotated 180 degrees
n = ‘a3’ or ‘A3’ ‘Rotated 270 degrees

When FIM (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter ‘t3’ or ‘T3’
Characters ‘A’ to ‘D’ are valid and one digit of data can be printed. Upper-case and lower-case alphabet 
characters can be accepted.

When Post Net (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter ‘t4’ or ‘T4’
Numbers ‘0’ to ‘9 can be data and it must end with a check digit. ‘?’ can be used instead of the check digit.

When EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter ‘t5’ or ‘T5’
Ten numbers ‘0’ to ‘9’ can be accepted as bar code data. The number of characters for bar codes is limited 
as follows:
EAN 8: Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit)
EAN 13: Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit)
UPC A: Total 12 digits (11 digits + 1 check digit)
A number of characters other than those stated above will cause a data error that results in the bar code 
data being printed as normal print data. If the check digit is not correct, the printer decides the correct 
check digit automatically so that the correct bar code data will be printed. When EAN13 is selected, adding 
‘+’ and a two-digit or five-digit number after the data can create an add-on code.

When UPC-E is selected with the parameter ‘t6’ or ‘T6’:
The numbers ‘0’ to ‘9’ can be accepted as bar code data.
1‘?’ can be used instead of a check digit.
2Adding ‘+’ and two-digit or five-digit number after the data creates an add-on code.

When Codebar is chosen with the parameter ‘t9’ or ‘T9’
Characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘-’, ‘ . ’, ‘$’, ‘/’, ‘+’, ‘ : ’ can be printed. Characters ‘A’ to ‘D’ can be printed as a start-
stop code, which can be upper case or lower case. If there is no start-stop code, errors will happen. A 
check digit cannot be added and using ‘?’ causes errors.

When Code 128 Set A, Set B, or Set C is selected with the parameter ‘t12’ or ‘T12’, ‘t13’ or ‘T13’, or ‘t14’ 
or ‘T14’
Code 128 sets A, B and C can be individually selected. Set A shows characters Hex 00 to 5F. Set B 
includes characters Hex 20 to 7F. Set C includes the pairs 00 to 99. Switching is allowed between the code 
sets by sending %A, %B, or %C. FNC 1, 2, 3, and 4 are produced with %1, %2, %3, and %4. The SHIFT 
code, %S, allows temporary switching (for one character only) from set A to set B and vice versa. The ‘%’ 
character can be encoded by sending it twice.

When ISBN (EAN) is selected with the parameter ‘t130’ or ‘T130’
The same rules apply as for ‘t5’ or ‘T5’.

When ISBN (UPC-E) is selected with the parameter ‘t131’ or ‘T131’:
The same rules apply as for ‘t6’ or ‘T6’. Eight digits
12(standard format) The first character must be ‘0’ and the data must end with a check digit.
Total eight digits = ‘0’ plus 6 digits plus 1 check digit.
Six digits
2The first character and the last check digit are removed from the eight digit data.
