One-dimensional bar codes
22
If the last bar of a symbol is a vertical bar, the cursor will be positioned at the right end of the
base of the last bar when printing is complete.
If a blank space produced by an invalid character is the last thing printed in a symbol, the
cursor will be positioned at the right end of the blank space when printing is complete.
To generate a Zebra code, send consecutive slash (“/”, ASCII value 47)
or
vertical bar (“|”, ASCII
value 124) characters, as in the following PCL5 emulation commands:
Note:
The third command in the sequence depends on whether you want to print slashes
or vertical bars.
Bar code descriptor for RSS-14
RSS-14 is a linear symbology that encodes the full 14-digit EAN/UCC item identification in a linear
symbol that can be scanned omnidirectionally by suitably programmed pointof-sale scanners. The
Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) family contains three linear symbologies:
RSS Limited encodes 14-digit EAN/UCC item identification with Indicator digits of zero or one
in a linear symbol for use on small items that will not be scanned at the point-of-sale.
RSS Expanded encodes EAN/UCC item identification plus supplementary AI element strings
such as weight and “best before” date in a linear symbol that can be scanned
omnidirectionally by suitably programmed point-of-sale scanners.
RSS-14 Stacked is a variation of the RSS-14 symbology that is stacked in two rows and is
used when the normal symbol would be too wide for the application. It comes in two versions:
a RSS Truncated version for small item marking applications, and;
