Bar Code Quick Reference
Appendix F
1. Introduction
The bar code print facility is available in all three emulations.
2. Programming
There are three escape sequences to print bar codes
S The first sequence is to define the Bar Code Header. The type of bar code as
well as all parameters are selected by a header. The header does not affect
any parameters outside the bar code application and remains valid until
another header is transmitted or the printer is turned off. This can be done at
any time but before bar code printing.
The header has the following format:
ESC [ ; P
S In step two, the ESC-sequence "Set Mode Bar Code (SMBC)" starts the Bar
Code printing.
ESC [ ? 0 h
S Finally, the ESC-sequence "Reset Mode Bar Code (RMBC)" will stop printing.
ESC [ ? 0 l
Between SMBC and RMBC are only printable characters tolerated (no CR
Note:
or LF).
