Programming Notes Bar Code Function Set Commands The Bar Code function set contains the commands and controls for presenting bar code information on a logical page, page segment, or overlay area on a physical page.
Programming Notes Loaded Font Function Set Commands The Loaded Font function set contains the commands used to download and delete font information from the font storage of the printer. The Loaded Font function set commands are: Command Code Description LSS D61E Load Symbol Set DF D64F Delete Font Using Escape Sequences in 3270 Mode In a multiuser environment, several programs or display stations may require special printing formats.
Programming Notes Escape sequences can be linked to get the desired combination of print format and style. For example, the string >81>89>8C provides near letter quality at 12 characters per inch (CPI) and 3 lines per inch (LPI). Selecting the Escape Character The code that alerts the 1330 to expect an escape sequence is called the escape character. The escape character must be set from the 1330 Operator Control Panel keypad.

Programming Notes Setting the Escape Character To set the escape character: 1. Press the Stop key, if the printer is ready. 2. Enter Menu mode. 3. Select Option 503. 4. Press the Left Arrow or Right Arrow key until the number of the escape character you want is displayed. Refer to Figure B-2. 5. Press the Save key to activate this escape character, and press Stop to quit. To display the number of the escape character, follow Steps 1 through 3.
Programming Notes Selecting Escape Codes Select escape codes from Figure B-3, and type in the required escape sequence combinations. Always use the escape character and the code 1F at the beginning and end of a file to clear the 1330 to normal character style. Escape code 1F resets escape codes 10 through 1E, and assures that italic, boldface, underlined, or elongated characters set by another operator will not affect your printed output. Escape codes 30 through 39 are used in printing bar codes.

Programming Notes Using the Bar Code Feature Bar code printing is a special feature available on the 1330. For clarity, printed bar codes will be referred to as bar code strips. Bar codes are printed as the result of data entered in a sequence of steps beginning with an escape character. The procedure outlined below gives the steps necessary to print bar codes. Scanner Data The 1330 can print most popular bar codes (see Figure B-4).
Programming Notes Standard Text Additional or standard text can be printed between completed bar code strips. To print this text, you must know where the first character of text is to be printed measured from the left margin in 0.1-inch (2.5-mm) units. It should be normal practice to run a test printing to check alignment before loading self adhesive labels. The text can be printed on bar code stickers. Standard text can contain data to be used internally, such as the title or description of an item.
Programming Notes Using Bar Code Escape Sequences The following formats are used to print bar codes. Number 1 includes all parameters (required and optional), and Number 2 includes only required parameters. > = escape character and NL = new line (carriage return plus line feed). NL = hexadecimal 15. The data separator character is a semicolon. 1. Required and optional escape sequence data: >XXYYY;bar code data;37PPP;standard text;NLNLNLNLNLNL31 2.
Programming Notes 10. Standard text This is the text printed between bar code strips. 11. ; Data separator character 12. NL New line The height of the printed bar code characters equals the number of New Line commands multiplied by the reciprocal of the number of lines per inch.

Calculating New Line Characters Note: 701333-004 Short bar code strips demand greater accuracy of the operator during the scanning procedure.
Programming Notes Calculating Checksums The checksum is a number used to assure the accuracy of the scanning of a bar code. EAN or UPC If EAN or UPC bar codes are printed using 7 or 12 characters, the 1330 will calculate the checksum digits. This number (8 or 13) will be printed below the last bar code if 31 is used as the line terminator. Plessey If the Plessey bar code type is used, the computer operator must compute the checksum manually and add the value to the escape sequence.

Programming Notes Note 1: Emphasized printing is effective only in pica pitch. Note 2: n1n2 specifies the number of mode bytes. m1m2 must be 0. m3 controls line spacing and character height. m4 controls character width. Double high characters require a Forms Handler module. The standard PC character set will be selected by default if a Forms Handler module is not installed. Note 3: For the m1 parameters used in Select Color, refer to “Miscellaneous Commands,” later in this chapter.

Programming Notes Note: Line spacing in n/216 inch (base units value) will adjust the required line spacing to the nearest 1/144 inch. Note: After receipt of a spacing command, each LF command or equivalent results in the line feed distance specified by the spacing command. Note: Reverse line spacing moves the paper n/144 inch in reverse and requires that a DOD module be installed. If there is no DOD module, the command is ignored.
Programming Notes Page Formatting Commands These commands set the left, right, top, and bottom margins.
Programming Notes A bit image is structured by a collection of dots arranged in rows and columns. A collection of eight dots sequentially arranged in a column is called a pattern byte. The smallest unit of the bit image is called a pattern element. There are two types of patterns that are determined by the number of dots used in an element: 8-dot and 9-dot elements.

Programming Notes Using Escape Sequences with ANSI Bar Codes ANSI bar code processing on the 1330 in ASCII mode is based on ANSI version X3.641979. The ANSI bar code is made up of three programming elements (or commands) as follows: 1. Set Attributes – The set attributes command tells the printer what type of bar code to produce, determines the height of the bar code, and turns the human readable indicator on or off.
Programming Notes Bar code data must follow the specifications of the bar code type selected. Spaces and commas are processed as delimiters, not as bar code characters. As per the ANSI X3.641979 documentation, all bar codes will be preceded and followed by 1/4 inch of white space. The delimiters (space and comma) are processed as follows: Space: A space will position the print head one character position to the right of the current head position, based on the current CPI selected.
Programming Notes Example: Printing a “Code 3 of 9” bar code 1/2 inch high without human readable code using the data “3 of 9” as the bar code with three lines of text adjacent to the bar code. One line of text will be on the same line as the bar code command and two lines will follow that complete the processing of the bar code printout.
