BARCODE, HUMAN READABLE INFORMATION (HRI)
FUNCTION
Specifies the character type of human readable information (HRI) for barcode.
FORMAT
<ESC>da
a = Barcode type
3: JAN/EAN13
4: JAN/EAN8
H: UPC-A
b = Narrow Bar Width (01 to 12 dots)
c = Barcode Height (001 to 999 dots)
n = Print Data (barcode data)
d = Character Type Specification (XU,XS, XM, XB, XL, OA, OB)
n = Print Data (HRI data)
Place anywhere after <ESC>V but before <ESC>Q.
EXAMPLE
<ESC>A
<ESC>H0100<ESC>V0100<ESC>d3021204902471006795
<ESC>Q1
<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
(4-22c)
NOTES
Adds HRI with a specified character type. If data with other than the specified value is
set, printing will not be performed. When the barcode enlargement ratio and character
type is large, HRI may be overlapping each other.
The printer will properly lay out HRI.
HRI for JAN/WAN13 and UPC-A requires the following items:
8 dots/mm (203 dpi), “02” and “03” is the proper value for narrow bar width.
12 dots/mm (305 dpi), “03” and “04” is the proper value for narrow bar width.
24 dots/mm (309 dpi), “06”, “07”, and “08” is the proper value for narrow bar width.
