(4) Bar code use and bar code type 
 
● Two or more bar code types can coexist. 
● When bar code set up is completed for a print item, its inter-character space can’t be changed. 
(The inter-character space need not be transmitted in this case.) 
● When the bar code type is ITF or code128(code set C), you have to observe the following input rules. If you 
violate the rules, the contents of an illegal print item will be deleted.

● Some characters cannot be entered depending on the bar code type. 
If any unacceptable character is included in a print item for which bar code setup is completed, the 
contents of the print item are changed to a null character. 
● FNC1 is a control code used for Code128, 2-byte code of 81A6. 
 
1.3.5-3 Caution for format type "Free layout" 
● When the format setup is "Free layout" and if "Line count / print format uniformity" or "Line count 
and line spacing" or "High-speed printing" is transmitted, a communication error will occur.
