Setting method of character string for marking (specified with shift-JIS code)
Use shift-JIS code "Character Code Table" (P.158) to set standard characters and registered characters. In case of setting with
ASCII code, use the MCS command.
Functional character (specified with ASCII code)
Use ASCII code to set the functional character.
N: digit number (1 to 6)
MM: number of digits (01 to 30)
X: Type (Y: year, i: week-based year, y: era year, M: month, D: date, H: 24-hour time, h: 12-hour time, m: minute,
s: second, w: week, J: 365 days, C: counter)
n: counter number, lot function number (0 to 7), date/time number (0: current date/time, 1 to 8: expiry date/time,
rank function number (0 to 3), serial data function number (0 to 9, A to F), bar code number (0 to 7)
Y: Counter offset (+1 to +9). This letter is not used in case of no offset.
Z: Counter numbering system -1 (1 to 9, A to Z). This letter is not used when decimal number is used.
%0N:XnY/Z = with zero
%_N:XnY/Z = right aligned
without zero
%N_:XnY/Z = left aligned
without zero
(Above "_" represents a space.)
Examples
• Character setting by shift-JIS code: Marking of "ABCD" (with hexadecimal number)
82,60,82,61,82,62,82,63
• Functional character setting by ASCII code: Marking of "counter 0" by 6 digits, right aligned without zero
25,20,36,3A,43,30 = "%_6:C0"
(Above "_" represents a space.)
• Shift-JIS character and functional character mixed case:
Marking of current year/month/date with four digits for dominical year, two digits for month and date respectively, with
zero, and of the unit by Kanji.
25,30,34,3A,59,30,94,4E,25,30,32,3A,4D,30,8C,8E,25,30,32,3A,44,30,93,FA = "%04:Y0 Year %02:M0 Month %02:D0
Day"
