F - EAN 13

This code accepts 12 characters (only numbers): in this case it calculates and adds the thirteenth
checksum character. If there are already 13 characters, the printer will check that the thirteenth
corresponds to the correct checksum: if it does not, it will print 12 zeros and the expected
checksum.

G - EAN 8

This code accepts 7 characters (only numbers): in this case it calculates and adds the eight checksum
character. If there are already 8 characters, the printer will check that the eighth corresponds to the
correct checksum: if it does not, it will print 7 zeros and the expected checksum.

fig. 19 - EAN 8 bar code

H - HBIC

This code is like the 3 of 9 with a checksum character: it has a variable length and, in addition to
upper case letters, the space and numbers, it accepts the following characters:
$%&Ö*+-./
The nominal ratio may vary from 2:1 to 3:1.
You need to add a + before the data to be coded. For example, if you need to print a bar code with
the data 0123456789 the command string must be 1 H 21 050 0010 0010 +0123456789 (see
command syntax in sect. 2.1.2.1.3 on page 19).
