6.3 Two-Dimensional Code
This printer and APD support two-dimensional code (PDF417 format.) APD can print two-
dimensional code the same as other barcode (ex. EAN13, etc....); however, it can’t adjust the
detail setting (ex. step number, module height and width, etc....) The adjusting is done with the
“Two-Dimensional Code Parameter Setting Tool.“ The tool is provided with APD. This tool is
for APD printing and is not for OPOS and direct printing (using ESC/POS commands). See the
“Two-Dimensional Code Parameter Setting Tool User’s Manual” for details about this tool.
6.4 Drawer Control
6.4.1 Drawer Open
When you control a drawer connected to this printer using APD, you have two methods to open
the drawer. The first method is using “Control font”; the second is using “Status API.“
Below is as example of a program (Visual Basic) to open a cash drawer using Control font.
'Execute open cash drawer1.
Printer.Font.Name = "control"
Printer.Print "A" ’This ”A” means “open the drawer1 with 50msec pulse.“
