Syntax: ESC [ p n1 n2 data Decimal: 27 91 112 n1 n2 data Hex: 1B 5B 70 n1 n2 data Use the following steps to calculate the values of n1 and n2, which specify the number of characters of barcode data: 1 Let N = the actual number of characters of data to be transferred. 2 n1 is the lower byte of N (remainder of N divided by 256). 3 n2 is the upper byte of N (quotient of N divided by 256). n2 is normally 0. The printer may not print the barcode if N does not match the number of characters required for the barcode type. After sending the data transfer command and the barcode data, sufficient vertical movement is required to move past the length of the bars. In the Barcode Symbology examples that follow, this movement is indicated by an ellipsis. 152 Section 8: Barcodes
