How to use Web Based Management (Web browser) A To use Web Based Management (Web browser), follow the steps below. Note We recommend Internet Explorer® 6.0 (or greater) or Firefox 3.0 (or greater) for Windows® and Safari 3.0 (or greater) for Macintosh.
Appendix Symbol and character sets list A OCR symbol sets A When you choose the OCR-A or OCR-B font, the matching symbol set is always used.
Appendix Quick reference for bar code control commands A The machine can print bar codes in the HP LaserJet emulation modes. Print bar codes or expanded characters Code ESC i Dec 27 105 Hex 1B 69 A Format: ESC i n ... n \ Creates bar codes or expanded characters according to the segment of parameters ‘n ... n’. For more information about parameters, see the following Definition of Parameters. This command must end with the ‘ \ ’ code (5CH).
Appendix This parameter selects the bar code mode as shown above. When n is ‘t5’ or ‘T5’ the bar code mode (EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A) varies according to the number of characters in the data. Bar code, expanded character, line block drawing and box drawing n = ‘s0’ or ‘S0’ 3: 1 (default) n = ‘s1’ or ‘S1’ 2: 1 n = ‘s3’ or ‘S3’ 2.5: 1 A This parameter chooses the bar code style as above.
Appendix Preset: Human readable line ON (1) ‘T5’ or ‘t5’ (2) ‘T6’ or ‘t6’ (3) ‘T130’ or ‘t130’ (4) ‘T131’ or ‘t131’ Preset: Human readable line OFF All others This parameter shows whether the machine prints the human readable line below the bar code. Human readable characters are always printed with OCR-B font of 10 pitch and all the current character style enhancements are masked. The default setting is determined by the bar code mode selected by ‘t’ or ‘T’.
Appendix Bar code, expanded character, line block drawing and box drawing offset in X-axis A n = ‘xnnn’ or ‘Xnnn’ This parameter shows the offset from the left margin in the ‘u’- or ‘U’-specified unit. Bar code & expanded character offset in Y-axis A n = ‘ynnn’ or ‘Ynnn’ This parameter shows the downward offset from the current print position in the ‘u’- or ‘U’-specified unit.
Appendix When CODE 39 is chosen with the parameter ‘t0’ or ‘T0’ Forty three characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘Z’, ‘-’, ‘ . ’, ‘ (space)’, ‘$’, ‘ / ’, ‘+’, and ‘%’ can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters will cause a data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. The bar code data automatically starts and ends with an asterisk ‘ * ’ (start character and stop character).
Appendix When Code 128 Set A, Set B, or Set C is selected with the parameter ‘t12’ or ‘T12’, ‘t13’ or ‘T13’, or ‘t14’ or ‘T14’ Code 128 sets A, B and C can be individually selected. Set A shows characters Hex 00 to 5F. Set B includes characters Hex 20 to 7F. Set C includes the pairs 00 to 99. Switching is allowed between the code sets by sending %A, %B, or %C. FNC 1, 2, 3, and 4 are produced with %1, %2, %3, and %4.
