CHAPTER 8 BAR CODE CONTROL - 9
• When Code 128 Set A, Set B, or Set C is selected with the parameter “t12” or “12,” “t13” or “T13,” or “t14”
or “T14” respectively:
Code sets A, B and C are individually selectable. Set A encodes characters in the range Hex 00 to 5F. Set
B encodes characters in the range Hex 20 to 7F. Set C encodes numeric pairs in the range 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 1 character only) between set A and set B and
vice versa.
- To print the “%” character, it must be sent twice.
When you put "?" on the end of the data, a check digit is automatically added.
• When ISBN (EAN) is selected with the parameter “t130” or “T130”:
The rules are the same as for “t5” or “T5”
• When the ISBN (UPC-E) is selected with the parameter “t131” or “T131”:
The rules are the same as for “t6” or “T6”

ESC i ... E (or e)
“E” or “e” is a terminator.
3.14. Line Block Drawing
ESC i ... V (or v)

3.15. Expanded Character Data Start
n = “l” or “L”
Data that follows “l” or “L” is read in as expanded character data (or labeling data). Expanded character data
must end with the “ \ ” code (5CH), which also terminates this command. To print the '\' character, you must
input '\\'.
