Lexmark Confidential until announced PCL 5 emulation: HP 21 After printing, the position of the cursor varies, depending on the last character printed: • Diagonal bar: The cursor is 1 space width from the right end of the base of the last bar. • Vertical bar: The cursor is at the right end of the base of the last bar. • Blank space produced by an invalid character: The cursor is at the right end of the blank space. To generate a Zebra code, send consecutive "/" or "|", similar to the following PCL 5 emulation commands: Note: The third command in the sequence depends on whether you want to print diagonal or vertical bars. Command Characteristic Esc(10U Selects PC‑8 symbol set. Esc(s0p4.5h0s0b4099T Selects 4.5 cpi fixed space Courier font. Esc&k2H Prints diagonal bars. This command contains 4 groups of 9 diagonal bars, where each group is separated by 9 spaces. Esc(s#B Prints vertical bars. This command contains 4 groups of 9 vertical bars, where each group is separated by 9 spaces. RSS‑14 bar code descriptors RSS‑14 is a linear symbology that encodes the full 12‑digit EAN/UCC item identification in a linear symbol. Suitably programmed point‑of‑sale scanners can scan this bar code omnidirectionally. The RSS family contains three linear symbologies: • RSS Limited encodes 14‑digit EAN/UCC item identification with indicator digits of 0 or 1 in a linear symbol. This symbology is used on small items that are not scanned at the point of sale. • RSS Expanded encodes EAN/UCC item identification plus supplementary AI element strings such as weight and "best before" dates. • RSS‑14 Stacked is a variation of the RSS‑14 symbology that is stacked in two rows. This variant is used when the normal symbol is too wide for the application. It comes in two versions: - RSS Truncated is a small‑item marking application. - RSS Stacked Omnidirectional can be omnidirectionally scanned. Note: This version is not supported in Forms and Bar Code Card.

After printing, the position of the cursor varies, depending on the last character printed:
Diagonal bar: The cursor is 1 space width from the right end of the base of the last bar.
Vertical bar: The cursor is at the right end of the base of the last bar.
Blank space produced by an invalid character: The cursor is at the right end of the blank space.
To generate a Zebra code, send consecutive "

", similar to the following PCL 5 emulation commands:
Note:
The third command in the sequence depends on whether you want to print diagonal or vertical bars.

14 bar code descriptors
RSS
14 is a linear symbology that encodes the full 12
digit EAN/UCC item identification in a linear symbol.
Suitably programmed point
of
sale scanners can scan this bar code omnidirectionally.
The RSS family contains three linear symbologies:
RSS Limited
encodes 14
digit EAN/UCC item identification with indicator digits of 0 or 1 in a linear symbol.
This symbology is used on small items that are not scanned at the point of sale.
RSS Expanded
encodes EAN/UCC item identification plus supplementary AI element strings such as weight
and "best before" dates.
RSS
14 Stacked
is a variation of the RSS
14 symbology that is stacked in two rows. This variant is used when
the normal symbol is too wide for the application. It comes in two versions:
RSS Truncated
is a small
item marking application.
RSS Stacked Omnidirectional
can be omnidirectionally scanned.
Note:
This version is not supported in Forms and Bar Code Card.
