Each subset can be chosen in one of two ways: using a special character (for “subset selection”)
incorporated in the string to be coded, or a code at the beginning of the string (called “default subset
selection”).
In the first case, all the characters following the special character belong to the chosen subset up to
the next subset selection character (see table 3).

In the second case, the entire string is coded in the selected subset unless one of the subset selection
characters occurs.

table 4 – Default subset selection character
In general, the command accepts up to 100 characters, but the limit is determined by the width of
the label (or the maximum length of the printing area if the bar-code is rotated by 90°/270°
79 ) and
the ratio set by the ^BY command on page 19. In other words, if the bar-code spills over the
boundaries of the printing area due its excessive size (determined by the number of characters to be
coded and/or by the ratio), it could be wrongly interpreted by the reader. In any event, the part that is
included in the useful printing area is printed.
r is a letter that determines the rotation of the bar-code. It can assume the following values:
N: normal rotation (0°) 80
R: rotated (90°)
77 Default value.
78
Default value.
79
The maximum length of the printing area is in turn limited by the available RAM. Please refer to the User Manual.
80
The default value is that of the last ^FW command (page 10) received.
