• n4: Bar code height (dot count)
Spec. 1: When the height of the bar code is more than the form feed amount, the form feed amount
is automatically doubled.
Spec. 2: Line feed according to (bar code height + under-bar characters)
• k (bar code data count), d (bar code data)

• UPC-E: k = 11 (or 12)
The 12 th check digit is automatically applied, so it is ignored even if specified.
Command is ignored if the data cannot be shortened. Data conversion to rectangles is automatic.
• UPC-A: k = 11 (or 12)
The 12 th check digit is automatically applied, so it is ignored even if specified.
• JAN/EAN -8: k = 7 (or 8)
The 8 th check digit is automatically applied, so it is ignored even if specified.
• JAN/EAN -13: k = 12 (or 13)
The 13 th check digit cannot be automatically applied, so it is ignored even if specified.
• CODE39: k is freely set, and maximum value differs according to the mode.
Start and stop codes (*) are automatically included.
• ITF: k is freely set, and maximum value differs according to the mode.
If the data is an odd line, 0 data is automatically appended to the top.
• CODE128: k is freely set, and maximum value differs according to the mode and print character
type.
Check character is automatically appended.
• CODE93: k is freely set, and maximum value differs according to the mode and print character
type.
The start/stop code (□) is automatically appended.
• NW7: k is freely set, and maximum value differs according to the mode and print character type.
Both start/stop codes are included in the data (but not automatically applied).
