PRECAUTIONS
Disconnect The Power Cord
Never remove the printer control board while the printer is plugged in. To avoid the
possibility of electrical shock, always disconnect the power cord when installing or
removing ANY internal or external printer option.
Discharge Static Electricity
The control board and internal printer options (SIMM, Network interface) are sensitive to
static electricity. Before installing or removing an internal option, discharge static electricity
from your body by touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any device
plugged into a grounded power source.
If you walk round before finishing the installation, discharge any static electricity again.

Using the module options within Microsoft Word
MS Word has the possibility to send printer commands direct to the printer.
Select <Insert> <Fields> and then proceed in the right window to the field <print>
(<druck>) and click at it once. Press the Tab and cursor right keys and enter any valid
ESC-Sequence like this: 27"(s.....T“
If you would like to display the field, mark the field functions option in <Tools>
(<Extras>) <Options>....
Note: Unfortunately there is a bug in MS Word 97. If you are using a Microsoft printer
driver, the print field may not be sent to the printer. There are two ways to solve this
problem:
1. Install the Windows (Word) Service Pack 1, or
2. Install another PCL5e driver.
If you need always the identical barcode information, then we suggest to add the
code information into the print field. The best is you use a small Letter Gothic font.

SAP Support
The Barcode module functionality is supported standard by the SAP R/3 software.
-OSS note #5196 lists standard R/3 barcode names and supported device types for
printing barcode
-PCL-5 commands for Tally Barcode module are built into the HP compatible device
types by SAP
-Modifications are only required for special Barcode types and sizes
-OSS note #45643 lists PCL-5 command details for barcode attribute selection
-PCL-5 commands are maintained as « Print Controls » in SPAD
-SE73 transaction lists barcode names and print-controls for every device type
-Barcode on: Print-control SBPxx
-Barcode off (regular font): SBSxx
-A test text is built into R/3: SO10, SAPSCRIPT-BARCODETEST (client 000)
Note: In the early release of the device type, there were a few errors in the escape
sequences. It is then recommended to verify the escape sequence syntax in R/3.
We recommend to copy the control into the user „Z“-environment and maintain it to your
own needs.
OCR-B
ESC-Sequence: <27>(1O<27>(sp10h12vsb110T OCR-B of „Bar Codes & More“
OCR-B of the „Bar Codes & More“ does print the same characters, except
<CHR 95>, <CHR 96> and <CHR 126> look according the ASCII symbol set.
The SAP print control for OCR-B is SF500.

How the Barcode module works
The Barcode module is not only made of scalable fonts. It is hooked to font calls within the
PCL5 interpreter. Typeface numbers from 24600 to 24800 (those number are in a
guaranteed exclusive range) activate the intelligence. All data mapped to one of those
special fonts is analysed and converted into bar code directly by the firmware.
If you want to print special characters (ASCII code < 32) with those bar codes, a
„Transparent Print Data“ PCL sequence (Esc&p#X) must follow immediately the font
selection sequence. This is the only way to know how many characters have to be printed.
The firmware gets from the I/O port the data corresponding to the font. The end of bar
code data is determined according to the bar code type:
* Barcode data is numeric only: ended by space/CR/LF/FF/Escape code.
* Barcode data is alphanumeric: ended by CR/LF/FF/Escape code.
If you want to print binary informations in the barcode, please use the Esc&p#X length
definition sequence, explained right before.
1) Once the data is received, it is analysed to verify it fits in the bar code specs:
Correct data size, for example Code 2of5 interleaved must have an even size, EAN
and UPC have fixed lengths...)
Valid data: some systems, like UPC-E, accept only specially structured data.
If data can only be numeric or alphanumeric, it accepts only allowed characters.
2) Some code systems, like Code 128C print compressed data. The compressed value is
not always available to the user. For such codes, the Barcode module verify if data is
compressed. If not, it performs automatically the compression.
3) Some formats require what is called a checksum. A checksum is a value, result of a
complex calculation on the code data. That value is added to the end of the data and
used by the code reader to proof the reading. The Barcode module calculates
automatically the checksum(s) of bar codes which need it. Bar codes can have up to 2
checksums (MSI Plessey, UCC128). If the checksum was provided with fixed length
data (EAN 8/13, UPC) it is ignored.
The Barcode module then generates the shape of the bar code, according to
parameters in the font-like PCL sequence. For Barcode module bar codes, PCL font
parameters don’t have the standard meaning (besides the V and T parameter):
The parameter definition for Barcodes:
Pparameter: Controls if/how text is printed with bars
Hparameter: Controls what font to use for that text

Seite -15-
V parameter: Bar code vertical size, in points (like fonts).
1 point size = 1/72 inch.
Sparameter: White bars widths (has up to 4 values separated by commas)
Bparameter: Black bars widths (has up to 4 values separated by commas)
Tparameter: Bar code format number
As Barcode is algorithms-only, the user can apply the scaling independently in the X and Y
axis. In the past with standard scalable fonts, bigger size meant larger bars, resulting in a
too-wide and unreadable code, and small size meant thinner bars resulting also in
unreadable codes. Some barcodes are standardized and can not be resized.
5) The Barcode can be of any height, in the 3 to 960 pointsize range. The current cursor
position is the location of the bottom left corner of the leftmost black bar, whatever bar
code text parameter is provided. If text is to be printed by Barcode module together
with bars (P and H parameters), bars heights will be automatically adapted in order not
to overlap possibly embedded characters.
Every bar code system has default options, activated when parameters are not
provided. The user does not need to provide all parameters. As an example, if the
height is omitted, the default size is used. Every code has its specific default values,
based on international standards.
6) If required, the Barcode module prints the code value as text with the bars, either
under, half-embedded in, full-embedded in, or above the bars. Checksum and flag
characters are automatically placed in the right place for some systems (EAN 8/13 and
UPC), according to the international standards.
The Barcode module centres automatically the text and support 6 typefaces: Courier,
Letter Gothic, Univers, Univers Condensed, CG-Times and OCR-B. By default, the
Barcode module scales automatically the font proportionally to the code width and
bars height and the type of textembedding selected.
Automatic sizing limits the pointsize to 15 (no limit for text above or under bar code).
Automatic centring is done for both fixed pitch and proportional fonts.
7) After bar code printing completion, cursor is set after the bottom right corner of the
rightmost black bar.
8) If another bar code then needs to be printed, just locate the cursor to a new position
and send the barcode data. The Barcode font-like PCL sequence does not need to be
sent again.

How to use the Barcode module
The Barcode module can be used:
·From specific developments.
Developers write PCL code based on Barcode module functionality.
·From standard software. Barcodes should be driven by bitmap-font-like drivers, with
one entry per size and type of bar code. A scalable font driver can not be used as
the horizontal width is not a factor of the height.
·For MS Windows and SAP support go to the corresponding chapters.
Please note that the <27> notation represents the ‘ESC’ Sign, ASCII 27 or Hex 1B.
If you want to make a quick test, then just use the DOS Editor to enter any valid sequence.
To enter the ESC sign there simply type Crtl+p and Esc. This will result in a arrow left.

Seite -20-
Print Extended Characters and leading spaces
Some of the barcodes can print the full ASCII table from 1 to 127. In regular mode,
some of the characters below 33 may cause the Barcode module to print the code
up to this character and maybe even start after the character with a new barcode
definition. In order to avoid this, you can add after the full Esc Sequence for the
code <27>&p####X. The numeric value ### does define the length of the message
information in Bytes.
Code 128 Control Codes
Code 128 has five non-data special control codes, called FUNCTION CODES, and 2
control codes to switch from one 128 set (A, B or C) to another one. The switching control
codes are used by the Barcode module to force one 128 set. As an example, the string
„123456“ can be printed with both sets A, B and C. Inserting a character with ASCII value
=134 at the beginning of the string will force the Barcode module to use the set B of code
128.
Note that both Code 128 Autoswitch and EAN 128 analyse the data and optimise the
barcode length by switching automatically between sets A, B and C. EAN128 and UCC-
128 already include the FNC1 code as the first character: you should not send it with the
data.
Special control codes are inserted by passing the following special decimal characters in
the bar code:
133 = CODE A129 = FNC 1 134 = CODE B 130 = FNC 2
135 = CODE C 131 = FNC 3 128 = SHIFT
