Appendix B. Bar Code Printing

Note: Please note that bar code printing depends on the printer in which the Printserver is installed.
For further information, contact your point of purchase.

B.1 Bar Code Type Definition using non-IPDS


It is possible to define up to 8 bar code definitions specifying bar code type, height, and expansion.
This is done in Function 59.

The bar code types 22 to 39 appear as a combination of the following parameters:

2x

Bar code with numeric or alphanumeric characters

printed beneath the bar code


3x

Bar code without numeric or alphanumeric characters

printed beneath the bar code.


X1

Code 128, type C/EAN-128 (with fixed, initial code-F1)


X2

EAN8/EAN13 and UPC A

7 data: check digit 8 included

EAN 8

8 data: check digit 8 is check digit

EAN 8

11 data. check digit 12 included

UPC A

12 data: check digit 13 included

EAN 13

13 data: check digit 13 is checked

EAN 13


X3

Interleaved 2 of 5


X4

Industrial 2 of 5


X5

Codabar


X6

MSI, check digit must be supplied by the system


X8

Plessey, check digit must be supplied by the system


X9

depending

on

expansion


If text example is specified to be written beneath the bar code graphics, it will be centered. If centering
is not possible (i.e. text wider than graphics), the text will be aligned with the horizontal start position
of the bar code.

The actual data to be converted into bar codes is received in Function W(n) (see this). Changing a bar
code definition is done by simply overwriting it.

B.2 Bar Codes Supported in IPDS

Additional bar codes are supported with the IPDS option. These include all common 1-D barcodes
and many popular 2-D barcodes as well. With IPDS, the host specifies the barcode; an FSL
programming sequence is not required to print the barcode.

1. Code 39 (3-of-9 Code), AIM USS-39
2. MSI (modified Plessey code)
3. UPC/CGPC Version A
4. UPC/CGPC Version E
