(The number of characters that can be coded differs according to the numbers/characters string.)
(*1) Use the number of vertical dots provided in the table for speed calculation.
[Type of Encoding]
IJ printer automatically judges the character string which is input and executes the encoding as follow:
[1] When the number of digits of characters which are input is less than or that of Maximum number of
characters (Alphabet only), ASCII Encoding is executed.
[2] If the number of digits exceeds Maximum number of characters (Alphabet only), C40 Encoding or Text
Encoding is executed.
[Rules for calculating number of digits]
[1] In case that Alphanumeric and Symbols are mixed. (ASCII Encoding)
Alphabetical characters and symbols are treated as one digit per character.
Single independent numbers are treated as one digit per number.
In the case of consecutive numbers, two numbers are treated as one digit.
If a single number is left over, it is treated as one digit.
The total is within 12 digits for 16×16 and within 10 digits for 8×32.
(Example 1) Basic calculation rule
A B C 1 2 3 4 5 D 6 E
Total 9 digits
3 characters
= 3 digits
