following “Definition of Parameters.” This command must end with the
“ \ ” code (5CH).

[Definition of Parameters]

This bar code command can have the following parameters in the parameter
segment (n … n). Since parameters are effective within the single command
syntax ESC i n … n \, they don’t take effect in the subsequent bar code
commands. If certain parameters are not specified, they take the default
settings. The last parameter must be the bar code data start (“b” or “B”) or
the expanded character data start (“l” or “L”). Other parameters can be
specified in any sequence. The prefix of each parameter can be a lower-case
or upper-case character: for example, “t0” or “T0”, “s3” or “S3”, etc.
