3480 Epson or IBM Barcode Problems
3-22-96 Ed Palmer

Models: 3480, 3580

Summary:
User programmed bar codes in Epson or IBM emulation do not print properly.


Resolution:


CAUSE: Errors in the programmer's manual GEK-89213:

Pages A.15 and B.15:

- The fonts used in the printing of this manual can be misleading.  What appears 
  to be a left parenthesis "(" is actually a left bracket "[".

Thus, the code ESC ( u n would actually be ESC [ u n.


- The syntax for the barcode parameter sequence is incorrect.  
  The syntax should be:

	ESC [ v n m

	where n is the parameter and m is the value assigned.

Page A.15:
	
- The listed parameter numbers are incorrect.  The parameters should run 
  from 0 through 12, not 1 through 13.  The IBM codes on page B.15 are correct, 
  and are the same as for the Epson emulation.
