Barcode Quick Reference
Introduction
The barcode print facility is available in all three emulations.
Programming
There are three escape sequences to print barcodes
The first sequence is to define the Barcode Header. The type of barcode as well as all parameters
are selected by a header. The header does not affect any parameters outside the barcode
application and remains valid until another header is transmitted or the printer is turned off. This
can be done at any time but before barcode printing.
The header has the following format:
ESC [ ; P2 ; P3 ; P4 ; P5 ; P6 ; P7 ˽ z Note: ˽ = Space
In step two, the ESC-sequence „Set Mode Barcode (SMBC)" starts the barcode printing.
ESC [ ? 0 h
Finally, the ESC-sequence „Reset Mode Barcode (RMBC)" will stop printing.
ESC [ ? 0 l
Note: Between SMBC and RMBC are only printable characters tolerated (no CR
or LF).
