i

 1 dot

This parameter shows the height of bar codes or expanded characters as shown above. It can start with ‘h’, 
‘H’, ‘d’, or ‘D’. The height of bar codes is shown in the ‘u’- or ‘U’-specified unit. The default setting of the bar 
code height (12 mm, 18 mm or 22 mm) is determined by the bar code mode selected by ‘t’ or ‘T’.

Bar code data start

A

n = ‘b’ or ‘B’

Data that follows ‘b’ or ‘B’ is read in as bar code data. Bar code data must end with the ‘ \ ’ code (5CH), which 
also ends this command. The acceptable bar code data is determined by the bar code mode selected by ‘t’ 
or ‘T’.

When CODE 39 is chosen with the parameter ‘t0’ or ‘T0’

Forty three characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘Z’, ‘-’, ‘ . ’, ‘ (space)’, ‘$’, ‘ / ’, ‘+’, and ‘%’ can be accepted as bar code 
data. Other characters will cause a data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. The 
bar code data automatically starts and ends with an asterisk ‘ * ’ (start character and stop character). If the 
received data has an asterisk ‘ * ’ at the beginning or end, the asterisk is regarded as a start character or 
stop character.

n = ‘a0’ or ‘A0’

‘Upright (preset)

n = ‘a1’ or ‘A1’

‘Rotated 90 degrees

n = ‘a2’ or ‘A2’

‘Upside down, rotated 180 degrees

n = ‘a3’ or ‘A3’
