[Description] 

・

Specifies a bar code image. 

・

Since the check digit is automatically generated from the bar code data, the check digit is 
not sent as bar code data. 

Since the length of the bar code data is also checked, the data would not be correctly 

recognized if check digit data is present. 

・

With protocols CODE39, ITF (I-2/5), CODABAR, CODE128, GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128) or 
RSS Expanded, the buffer length for the bar code image is about 22 cm. A bar code 

longer than 22 cm will not be printed. 

・

The characters that can be entered with CODE128 and GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128) are 
the full 128 ASCII characters and the special codes FNC1, FNC2, FNC3 and FNC4.
