Figure 4. 1.  Character dot pattern 
  
The pattern is 13 dots high and 13 dots wide. The pattern is encoded as a series of 16-bit 
words. If necessary, blank cells may be added on the right to make the width a multiple 
of 16. For this reason, the three extra columns appear on the right (see the figure above). 
Each 16-bit word is encoded with three characters, representing the most significant six 
bits, the next six bits, and the least significant four bits, respectively, as shown in...

The following figure shows all the characters included in the most common symbol set, 
HP Roman-8. 
Figure 4. 2.  Roman-8 Symbol Set 
  
In addition to a large selection of bitmap and scalable fonts, the printing system supports 
many symbol sets (also referred to as  character sets). The variety of Kyocera supported 
symbol sets can be attributed to the numerou s printer emulations. Most of those symbol 
sets are the same regarding the letters of  the alphabet, digits, and basic...

• CSET (Change symbol SET) 
• SFNT (Select current FoNT by typeface) 
The CSET command selects a symbol set by specifying its identification code which 
closely resembles the command parameters of the HP printer control language. In the 
example below, the Windows  symbol set is selected. 
CSET 9U; 
The CSET command may be pr eceded by an FSET font selection command. Remember 
that the symbol set has the highest priority in font selection. The following example still 
selects the ISO-4...

Barcodes
This chapter is a tutorial for encoding data into linear barcode and two-dimensional bar-
codes (PDF barcodes) by using PRESCRIBE commands. The former part of this chapter 
deals with how to implement the linear barcodes, the latter part explains the PDF417. 
They are step-by-step  guide with a direct and practical approach.

Linear Barcodes
The printing system is capable of printing a wide variety of barcodes, with human-read-
able text if desired. The user need only specify the type of barcode and the data to be 
encoded. The printing system  performs the rest of the work, including bar and space gen-
eration, symbol translation, insertion of st art and stop codes, checksum calculation, inter-
leaving, padding, zero suppres sion, and parity reversal. 
Note
The scanability of barcodes is affected by...

The short  and tall parameters specify the short and tall bar heights in the unit designated 
by the UNIT command (d efault: inches). The short and tall parameters must be both 
specified or both omitted. If they are omitted, the default values as shown in Table 5.3. 
must be specified. 
Only barcode types 0 to 12, 35 to 38, and 39 have two bar heights. For types 13 to 34, 40, 
and 41, the bar height is determined by th e short parameter and the tall parameter is 
ignored. Even when all bars are...

If the bar and space width parameters are omitted, the printing system uses suitable 
default values. Table 5.3. indicates the number of width classes and the default values for 
each barcode type. 
Barcode 19 (Code 39) has two width classes, which are set to 5 and 10 dots respectively 
in the example below.  Bar1 and space1  are both 5 dots, and  bar2 and space2  are 10 dots. 
Bar3, space3, bar4 , and space4  are all given dummy values of 10. 
Examples: 
!R! UNIT D;
BARC 19, Y,...

Barcode 41 (USPS FIM) prints a Facing Identification Mark pattern which may be 
printed on the envelope adjacent to the stamp. The combin ation of a FIM and the POST-
NET (barcode 39) barcode enables faster processing by the USPS. 
When generating a FIM pattern, all parameters except  type, flag, and string  are ignored. 
The flag parameter must be N. Characters perm itted for the string parameter are ‘A’, ‘B’, 
‘C’, and ‘D’ only, and each represents one of  four different FIM patterns. For example,...
