Bar code data
Reference
• When setting bar code marking data in multiple lines, data in each line are jointed in the order of line numbers and they
are coded as the data in one line. (No line break is inserted for each line.)
• When setting bar code marking data in multiple lines, make sure the sum of all barcode data is 255 characters or less.
• If readout data includes function characters (such as "%SFT:0"), the setting character ("%SFT:0") is read out, but
characters to be actually marked are not.
• For the method to specify bar code data, refer to "Setting method of character string for marking (specified with shift-JIS
code)" (P.86). and "Functional character (specified with ASCII code)" (P.86).
• To input the control codes in the barcode/2D code strings, set the code data as follows:
• To include the control codes in the strings, set the all control codes with BRS command by using these 2-byte
alternate codes instead of ASCII code. In this case, set the other characters including alphanumeric by using shift-
JIS code.

• The following control codes EOT, FS, GS, RS, or US you can set with BBS command by using ASCII code. Refer to
"Bar code marking data (ASCII code specified) : BBS" (P.95).
• To input "FNC1" for CODE128, GS1 Data Matrix, GS1 DataBar Expanded, and 2D side of Composite code, use the
following alternate code. In this case, set the other characters including alphanumeric by using shift-JIS code.
