Reference
• Refer to "2-3-6 Character data input method" (P.38) for details on the character input method and character types with
input restrictions.
• If the object type set in the specified object number is not the bar code/2D code, the laser marker returns the negative
response.
• For the reference list type character objects, use reference character (SST) command and applying reference character
(LNO) command to specify the character strings.
• Characters in TrueType object cannot be set with communication command.
• Use the object creation (CRE) command if you want to create new character objects or bar code/2D code objects.
• For response data for readout, the characters input with the one-byte characters are read out in ASCII code. The
characters input with the two-byte characters are read out in the character code, Shift JIS code or GB 2312 code,
selected in the system settings. If any characters which belong to the non-supported character code are in the data, the
readout request cannot be accepted.
• For the barcode/2D code objects to input the control codes in the code data, follow the input method specified in the
system settings. Refer to "Inputting control codes to bar code/2D code character strings" (P.40).
• For the barcode/2D code objects, the linefeed character "\n" is used only for the human readable text. It does not allow
to contain the linefeed in the code data.
• For bar code/2D code characters to input the linefeed in the code data, use the two-byte alternative codes of the linefeed
control code, if the code symbol supports the control code.
• For the input character to bar code/2D code object, depending on the code type, the acceptable character type is
restricted to either one-byte or two-byte character. In this case, the input character is converted automatically to the
acceptable type.
• Only when the request data contains the object number with the value after the decimal point, the object number of the
response data contains the value after the decimal point.
