Software Options That Affect Barcodes
Software Options are selected under the FM8000se's front panel Setup feature. These settings are non-
volatile. One of these options affects barcodes:
OPTIONS MENU Item Description
Top of Barcode On / Off
When enabled, the vertical position on exiting bar code mode places the text baseline for subsequent printing
so the top of the next character printed will align with the top of the barcode.
When disabled, the baseline for subsequent printing is 0.1 inch below the bottom of the bar code.

Barcode Options ESC ]6;4;(p3);(p4)ESC \
Set Options
This command enables down-line control of options affecting barcodes and oversized characters. These
settings are non-volatile, and can also be set via the Setup Mode at the front panel.
Differences from Genicom 3840:
Only these options are supported in this printer:
p4 = 25 (backup to top of oversized character)
p4 = 26 (backup to top of barcode)
All other equivalent options are available through the FP4000se, FM8000se and PM850 series front panel
Setup Mode.
Ignore Character
This feature is accessible through the OPTIONS MENU from the FP4000se, FM8000se and PM850 series
printers front panel Setup Mode. This allows a single 8 bit character to be discarded as it is received. This is
useful when the host application is sending an unwanted control character, for example.
To use this feature, refer to the printers Operation Manual and go to chapter Printer Configuration. Refer to
the OPTIONS MENU and turn “On” the Ignore Character feature.
Note: This feature should not be left active unless needed.
