Quick reference for commands 
Bar code control
The printer can print bar codes in the HP LaserJet, EPSON 
FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL emulation modes. 
Print bar codes or expanded characters
CodeESC i
Dec27 105
Hex1B 69
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 Parameters
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 dont 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.

Bar Code, expanded character, line block drawing and box 
drawing 
n = s0 or S0 3: 1 (default)
n = s1 or S1 2: 1
n = s3 or S3 2.5: 1
This parameter selects the bar code style as above.  When the EAN 
8, EAN 13, UPC-A, Code 128 or EAN 128 bar code mode is selected, 
this bar code style parameter is ignored.

All others
This parameter shows whether or not 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 factory setting is 
determined by the bar code mode selected by t or T.
Quiet zone
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 of U parameter. (For 
the description of u or U parameter, see the next section.)  The 
factory setting of the quiet-zone width is 1 inch.

This parameter shows the measurement units of X-axis offset, Y-axis 
offset, and bar code height.
 
						

							 A - 47
HL7050_US_UG_FM5.5
Bar code, expanded character, line block drawing and box 
drawing offset in X-axis
n = xnnn or Xnnn
This parameter shows the offset from the left margin in the u- or U-
specified unit. 
Bar code & expanded character offset in Y-axis
n = ynnn or Ynnn
This parameter shows the downward offset from the current print 
position in the u- or U-specified unit. 
Bar code, expanded character, line block drawing and box 
drawing height
n = hnnn, Hnnn, dnnn, or Dnnn
(1) EAN13, EAN8, UPC-A, ISBN (EAN13, EAN8, UPC-A), 
ISBN (UPC-E): 22 mm
(2) UPC-E: 18 mm
(3) Others: 12 mm
Expanded characters → 2.2 mm (preset) 
Line block drawing and box drawing →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 
factory 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 drawing
n = wnnn or Wnnn
Expanded character→ 1.2 mm
Line block drawing and box drawing→ 1 dot
This parameter shows the width of expanded characters as shown 
above.

Expanded character rotation
n = a0 or A1 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
Bar code data start
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 selected 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.  Because 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. 
■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. 
 
						

							 A - 49
HL7050_US_UG_FM5.5
■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 above will cause data error that 
results in the bar code data being printed as normal print data. If the 
check digit is not correct, the printer calculates 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 Eight digits (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.
2 Six digits The first character and the last check digit are 
removed from the eight digit data. 
1: For eight digits, ? can be used instead of a check digit. 
2: Adding + and two-digit or five-digit number after the data creates  
an add-on code for all six and eight digit formats. 
■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  
 
						

							A - 50 
HL7050_US_UG_FM5.5
Code 128 sets A, B and C can be individually selected.  Set A 
indicates 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.
■When EAN 128 set A, set B or set C is selected with the parameter 
t132 or T132, t133 or T133 or t134 or T134  
The same rules apply as for t12 or T12, t13 or T13, or t14 or 
T14.
Box drawing
ESC i ... E (or e)
E or e is a terminator. 
Line block drawing
ESC i ... V (or v)
V or v is a terminator. 
Expanded character data start
n = l or L
Data that follows l or L is read as expanded character data (or 
labeling data).  Expanded character data must end with the    code 
(5CH), which also ends this command.
