Parameter details
• nL+nH×256: Bar code data count
• dk: Bar code data (max. 1024 data)
When [nL+nH×256] is outside of the defined area, data of [nL+nH×256] bytes is received and dis-
carded.

Only setting is valid
Setting is valid after switching to thermal.

[Function]
Prints bar code data.
If there is unprinted data in the line buffer, this command is executed after printing that data.
Therefore, it is not possible to print with other data in the same line (characters, bit images, bar
codes).
Also, if the following errors occur, this command is ignored.
• An error occurs when generating the bar code by the combination of bar code settings.
• When the generated bar code exceeds the printable PDF417 size.
• When the print data exceeds the currently set print region.
• Bar codes to be printed should always be confirmed through an actual printout.
