CHAPTER 5 TPCL-LE MODE (INTERFACE COMMANDS)
B-EP Series
5-105
Explanation
(1) Two-dimensional code number
When drawing by the Data Command ([ESC] RB), the format designated by the two-
dimensional code number is selected.
(2) Print origin of coordinates
[Printing direction: Bottom first] [Printing direction: Top first]
The print origin of coordinates must be set so that the two-dimensional code drawing
result will be within the effective print area set by the Label Size Set Command ([ESC] D).
(3) Type of two-dimensional code
Q: Data Matrix
(4) ECC type
Data Matrix contains a function to correct a code reading error using an error correction
code (ECC) and restore normal data. The ECC should be chosen from several types of
ECCs according to usage. The general correction ability is as follows. However, it may
vary according to the error conditions.
ECC type Error Correction Ability Overhead by ECC
ECC000 0%
ECC050 25%
ECC080 33%
ECC100 50%
ECC140 75%
ECC200 Approx. 30%
