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.
 
						

							APPENDIXES   A - 54
■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 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  
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.
