Chapter 2 - Designing Bar Code Labels Example of Constant Data This example defines a simple bar code label format that prints a part number in a bar code field with an interpretive field.

The order number changes for every label printed in this format. You use the "Numeric Field Separator" command (syntax ) to specify the numeric data to be incremented, and the "Field Increment, Set" command (syntax I) to specify the increment value.

Example of Constant Data
This example defines a simple bar code label format that prints a part number in a
bar code field with an interpretive field. The data (part number) remains constant
for all labels printed using this format.
This label format looks like this:
Constant Data Example
Example of Changing Data
The next example shows how to define a simple bar code label format that prints a
part number in a bar code field and an incremented order number in a human-
readable field. The order number changes for every label printed in this format. You
use the “Numeric Field Separator” command (syntax <FS>) to specify the numeric
data to be incremented, and the “Field Increment, Set” command (syntax <ESC>I)
to specify the increment value.
Label Format Example - Constant Data
Command String
Definition
<STX><ESC>P<ETX>
Places the printer in Program mode.
<STX>E2;F2<ETX>
Erases current format 2 and creates new format 2.
<STX>H0;o200,50;d3,PART NUMBER FORMAT<ETX>
Changes the default settings for field 0: places the origin at 200,50,
and specifies the text “PART NUMBER FORMAT” for the field
data.
<STX>B1;o200,200;i1;d0,13<ETX>
Defines a new bar code field at origin 200,200, enables an
interpretive field, specifies that data for this field will be
transmitted when the printer is in Print mode, and sets a data
length of 13 characters. All other field settings are default values.
<STX>R<ETX>
Places the printer in Print mode.
<STX><ESC>E2<CAN><ETX>
Selects format 2 and clears all previous data.
<STX><ESC>F1<LF>*999-999-999*<ETX>
Selects field 1 (the new bar code field) and specifies the data to be
printed in that field (*999-999-999*).
<STX><ETB><ETX>
Prints the bar code label.
*999-999-999*
