US Postnet-Barcode
Postnet is a special US-American type of barcode. It is printed in character si-
ze. Numeric values from 0 to 9 are printable.
After activating this barcode type, numeric characters from 0 (hex. 30) to 9
(hex. 39) are interpreted as barcode figures. All other characters terminate the
Barcode mode. Exception: the TAB function (hex. 09) is allowed within Bar-
code mode. The Postnet sequence is accessible in every emulation. The prin-
ter can print barcode in NLQ (180 dpi) and LQ (360 dpi). If draft print quality
(DPQ) is selected the printout is performed in NLQ.
The character (e.g. CR = carriage return, hex. 0D), which terminates the bar-
code is not printed or carried out.
US Postnet Barcode does not require a barcode bracket.
Example: ASCII ESC[1 SP p 12345 CR
HEX 1B 5B 31 20 70 31 32 33 34 35 0D
The numbers 1 to 5 are printed as Postnet stripes.
LC printing
Certain professional applications may require unusually large character sizes.
Therefore your printer has the possibility of scaling standard size characters
up to factor 99 by means of control sequences.
The Header sequence defines the parameters (e.g. height) once. This defini-
tion remains until the printer is switched off.
The printable LCP* information is transmitted in an LCP “bracket” (SI).
Two character sets are available:
■ US ASCII and
■ German
The printout of LCP characters can be selected in all of the emulations. Prere-
quisite: Printer must be in Barcode mode.
