■ When EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter 't5'
or 'T5'
Ten numbers '0' to '9' can be accepted as bar code data. The
number of characters for bar codes is limited as follows:
EAN 8: Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit)
EAN 13:Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit)
UPC A: Total 12 digits (11 digits + 1 check digit)
A number of characters other than above will cause data error that
results in the bar code data being printed as normal print data. If the
check digit is not correct, the printer calculates the correct check digit
automatically so that the correct bar code data will be printed. When
EAN13 is selected, adding '+' and a two-digit or five-digit number
after the data can create an add-on code.
■ When UPC-E is selected with the parameter "t6" or "T6":
The numbers '0' to '9' can be accepted as bar code data.
1 Eight digits (standard format) The first character must be '0' and
the data must end with a check digit.
Total eight digits = '0' plus 6 digits plus 1 check digit.
2 Six digits The first character and the last check digit are
removed from the eight digit data.
1: For eight digits, '?' can be used instead of a check digit.
2: Adding '+' and two-digit or five-digit number after the data creates
an add-on code for all six and eight digit formats.
■ When Codebar is chosen with the parameter 't9' or 'T9'
Characters '0' to '9', '-', ' . ', '$', '/', '+', ' : ' can be printed. Characters
'A' to 'D' can be printed as a start-stop code, which can be upper case
or lower case. If there is no start-stop code, errors will happen. A
check digit cannot be added and using '?' causes errors.
■ When Code 128 Set A, Set B, or Set C is selected with the
parameter 't12' or 'T12,' 't13' or 'T13,' or 't14' or 'T14'
