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.
