[Description]
1. Command “GS k+[m]+[n]+[d1]..[dn]” selects a bar code type, supplies the data to be encoded and
prints a bar code. The eXtendo
®
printer will determine and print the bar code based on the data
sent to it for encoding. The eXtendo
®
is also capable of printing any bar code of appropriate
resolution sent to it as a graphics file. For printing of two dimensional bar codes, see “2D Bar
code configuration” and “2D Bar code printing”.
2. Parameter [m] specifies the type of bar codes to be printed, which can be UPCA, UPCE, EAN13,
EAN8, Code39, ITF (also called “Interleaved Two of Five”), Codabar, Code 128.
3. The command configuration, code, definition area, and certain other conditions depend on
parameter [m].
4. Parameter [n] specifies the number of characters to be encoded by the bar code, which depends
on the type of bar code.
5. If the print data generates a bar code wider than will fit on one line, the excess portion of the bar
code will print on the next line.
6. Bar code height will be determined by the bar code height setting GS h+[n], regardless of the line
spacing set with the ESC 2 or ESC 3 commands.
7. When one line contains both a bar code and characters to be printed, the bottom of these
characters and the bottom of the bar code are aligned.
8. Two or more bar codes cannot be contained on the same line. If this GS command is received
when there is a bar code in the print buffer, the data contained in the print buffer is automatically
printed, after which the new command is accepted.
