(13) Transmission Control : XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) Protocol READY/BUSY (DTR) Protocol XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) Protocol + READY/BUSY (DTR) Protocol RTS Protocol c XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) Protocol z When initialized after power on, this printer becomes ready to receive data and sends an XON code (11H). (Transmission or non-transmission of the XON code is selectable by means of the parameter setting.) z The printer sends an XOFF code (13H) when the blank positions in the receive buffer become 1K bytes or less.
e XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) Protocol + READY/BUSY (DTR) Protocol z When initialized after power on, this printer becomes ready to receive data and turns the DTR signal to “High” level (READY). The printer also sends an XON code (11H). z When the blank positions in the receive buffer are 1K bytes or less, the printer turns the DTR signal to “Low” level (BUSY) and sends an XOFF code (13H).

(4) Type of check digit c d e f g h (5) Where no check digit is attached, the bar code of the data row will be drawn. In the case of the check digit check, if each check digit checked according to the type of bar code is normal, the bar code will be drawn. If the check digit not meeting the requirement is designated, the bar code will not be drawn. In the case of the check digit auto attachment, each check digit is attached according to the type of bar code and the bar code is drawn.
In the case of QR code 1-cell width 1-cell width When the 1-cell width is 0, a two-dimensional code is not drawn. However, the bar code printed on the previous label is cleared.
(7) Bar code height Height Height [PDF417, MicroPDF417] Height Height [Postal code] Height When the bar code height is 0000, bar code (including guard bars) and numerals under bars are not drawn. However, the bar code printed on the previous label is cleared. (8) Length of guard bar The length of guard bar is valid only when the type of bar code is WPC. It is ignored in any other cases.
(9) Numerals under bars Numerals are not or provided under bars according the parameter for the presence or absence of numerals under bars. The contents of numerals under bars to be printed vary according to the type of bar code. The character set of numerals under bars is OCR-B. Such numerals are enlarged or reduced only horizontally according to the width of the bar code. They are drawn vertically in the fixed one magnification.
e In the case of bar codes other than JAN, EAN, and UPC (Example) CODE39 (Example) UCC/EAN128 (10) Start/Stop Code y This parameter is valid only when the type of bar code is CODE39 and NW7. y Where the parameter is designated, the program will not check if the transmit print data is with a start code and stop code. y When the parameter is omitted in the case of CODE39 and NW7, a start/stop code will be attached. The code to be added is “*” in the case of CODE39, and “a” in the case of NW7.
Letters and numerals for increment/decrement For CODE39 (standard), CODE39 (full ASCII), NW-7, CODE93, CODE128, if a data string other than numerals is included in the data, increment/decrement designation is performed. If any code which does not exist in each bar code table is contained in the data, increment/decrement designation is not performed. Up to 40 digits (including letters, numerals and symbols) are possible.
(13) Data string to be printed Drawing data can be programmed by designating the number of digits after the symbol “=.” The maximum number of digits to be printed varies according to the types of bar codes. For codes, refer to the bar code table mentioned later. (14) Link field No. The link field No. can be programmed by designating it after the symbol “;.” After the link field No. is designated using the Format Command, the data string are linked by the Link Field Data Command to draw an image.
(15) Explanation for Data Matrix c ECC type Data Matrix contains a function to correct a code reading error using an error correction code (ECC) and restore normal data. Since there are several ECCs. ECC should be designated according to usage. The general correction ability is as follows. However, it may vary according to the error conditions. d e ECC type Overhead by ECC ECC200 Approx.

(16) Explanation for the PDF417 and MicroPDF417 c Security level The PDF417 contains a function to correct a code reading error using an error correcting code word and restore normal data. The security level should be designated according to usage to perform the error correction function. For the MicroPDF417, the printer sets the security level automatically. Security level Error Correction Ability Level 0 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 6 Level 7 Level 8 d Low High No.
d 1-cell width 1-cell width 1-cell width When the 1-cell width is 0, a two-dimensional code is not drawn. However, the twodimensional code printed on the previous label is cleared. e Selection of mode All codes including alphanumerics, symbols, and Kanji can be used in one QR code. Manual mode or automatic mode can be selected to perform the operation.
Notes (1) The check digit attach and increment/decrement, and zero suppress processes are performed according to the following priority. If any of the conditions is improper, no drawing will take place. For example, the zero(s) is replaced by a space(s) as a result of zero suppression but the modulus 10 designated to be attached cannot be calculated. Increment/decrement > zero suppression > attachment of check digit (2) Up to 32 fields for which incrementing/decrementing has been designated can be drawn.
(3) More than one Bar Code Format Command can be connected when transmitted. [ESC] XB01; 0100, 0150, 3, 1, 02, 02, 06, 06, 02, 0, 0150 [LF] B02; 0350, 0150, 3, 1, 02, 02, 06, 06, 02, 0, 0150 [LF] [NUL] (4) When the drawing data is changed per label issue during printing, the field of the drawing data for the previous label is automatically cleared using the bar code number, then the next drawing data is printed.
