Type of Bar Code, Relationship of Number of Characters, and Horizontal Width
You can set the horizontal width of the bar code to between 2 and 6 with the
GS w
command
(The actual width changes, depending on the type and number of digits.), but printing cannot
exceed the paper width. The table below indicates whether or not printing can be performed for
the respective bar code horizontal widths
.
HRI Character Printing
You can print HRI (Human Readable Interpretation) characters above or below the bar code by
sending the
GS H
command. Select font A or B at this time for printing with the
GS f
command.
The initial setting is font A.
Customizing the ASB Status Bit
ASB Status Bit Allocation
Bit 0 and bit 1, and bit 2 and bit 3 of the third ASB byte have the same meaning on the TM-
H6000. The reason for this is to maintain send status compatibility with the TM-H5000II and
other printers. However, only one bit is needed to indicate the status, allowing the other bit to
be used for a different status. This enables the adding of a new command.
Bit 1 and bit 3 of the third byte can be changed, and the following functions can be allocated:
Bit 1 : Waiting for insertion of single sheet status
Bit 3 : Waiting for removal of single sheet status
