HOW TO SELECT BAR CODES IN EASY PRI

NT MODE

All bar codes in O’Neil

thermal printers are resident in the printer and do not need to be downloaded. Bar Codes are

selected when you create a field entry for an Easy Print print job. In each field entry you need to specify the bar code you

want to print. To print using Easy Print, the command is PRINT and the DATA is a succession of descriptors for each

field, or “thing” to be printed (whether the “thing” is text, bar code, or graphic). Optional global parameters affect the entire

print job.

{PRINT<,GLOBALPARAMETERS>:

[FIELD 1]

•

[FIELD n]

}

Each field, regardless of what is to be printed is virtually identical. If a field is to contain a bar code, then the bar code

must be selected for that field. Each FIELD has the form:

@ROW,COL:NAME<FIELD PARAMETERS>

|DATA|

Begins with an “@” (0x40)

Is followed by WHERE the data is to be printed (ROW,COL

). The row and column are always followed by a

colon “:” (0x3A)

That is followed by HOW is to be printed. In this case, since we a

re printing bar code we must include the

Easy Print name for that bar code (from the documentation as well as printed on the self test)

That is followed by WHAT is to be printed which is the

DATA to be printed. Data is always delimited by a

vertical bar (0x7C) before and after the data. Optionally, a comma “,” (0x2C) can follow HOW to be printed for

modifiers (or “field parameters”) for that FIELD. Although optional and a bar code will print even without field

parameters, to get the bar code to look the way you need it to look, you will probably need to use field

parameters.

The Easy Print name for the bar codes that are present in the prin

ter are shown on the self test. The exact list of bar

codes may vary from version to version of printer:

Available Bar Codes:

*---DESCRIPTION----* *--NAMES---*

INTLV 2of5 ratio 2:1 BCI25 (8CH)

CODE 128 (AUTO A-C) BC128 (91H)
