For Lemur series printer see “Standard Interface Pinouts” section of user manual.www.bocasystems.com/documents/lemur_manual.pdf UPC SUPPLEMENTUPC (version A) is a numeric only code that contains a left hand border character, 6 left hand characters, a center character, 6 right hand characters and a right border character. The letter U is used to select UPC bar code. The border and center characters are defined as follows: Left Border J Center K
Right Border L All UPC bar codes include a check digit. The UPC check digit is the 12th digit, located in the lower-right corner of the barcode itself. Calculating the UPC barcode check digit is explained below. Note: If you send the wrong value the printer will automatically calculate the correct value. Calculating UPC Check Digit While there are 12 digits in a UPC barcode, only the first 11 digits contain user data. The last digit is a check digit based on the previous 11 numbers. Our example barcode data is "401234567893". Calculate the UPC check digit as follows: Beginning on the left, add up digits in the odd positions. Multiple the result by 3. Add up all the digits in the even positions. Add the first subtotal to the second. Now what single digit number makes the total a multiple of 10? That's the check digit. In this example it is 3. 4+1+3+5+7+9=29 29x3=87 0+2+4+6+8=20 87+20=107 (add 3 to make 110) A typical data stream for printing UPC ladder bar code is as follows: " A typical data stream for printing UPC picket fence bar code with interpretation is as follows " A typical EAN8 ladder code follows: " The same bar code printed in the opposite direction would be as follows: " Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code is a numeric only bar code. All I 2 of 5 bar codes must contain an even number of characters and are bracketed by a stop and start character. The character is the colon (:). The letter F is used to select interleaved two of five bar code. Note: this bar code can be printed in either a 2:1 or 3:1 wide to narrow ratio. The following are 2:1 ratio commands (the default value). A typical picket fence bar code would be sent as follows: " The above prints a 3 unit high (24 dots) bar code starting at row 0 column 10. The bar code will extend down and to the right from the initial row and column position.
" An expanded (doubled) version of the above bar code would be as follows: " A 3:1 ratio of the above expanded (doubled) version would be as follows: " EAN13 SUPPLEMENTEAN13 is a numeric only bar code. All EAN13 codes must contain a variable parity bit followed by a front guard character (J), 6 lefthand characters, a center pattern (K), 6 righthand characters and an ending guard pattern (L). The parity of the lefthand characters is determined by the first (parity) bit. The last bit in the righthand side is the check-digit. The firmware automatically recalculates this value after transmission. The letter E is used to select EAN13 bar code. A typical EAN13 ladder bar code sequence would look like the following: " The above command line would generate a 5 unit wide bar code starting on row 0 ,column 70. The BI command causes the interpretation to be printed with the bar code. A typical expanded EAN13 picket fence bar code with no interpretation would be as follows: " CODE 39 SUPPLEMENTCode 39 is an alphanumeric bar code. The Code 39 character set consists of bar code symbols representing characters 0-9, A-Z, the space character and the following symbols: - , . , $ , / , + , %. All code 39 data must be bracketed by an asterik (*) on both sides. The letter N is used to select three of nine bar code. Note: this bar code can be printed in either a 2:1 or 3:1 wide to narrow ratio. The following are 2:1 ratio commands (the default value). A typical ladder code 39 bar code would be sent as follows: " This would result in a 3 unit wide bar code starting on row 0, column 70. No interpretation is printed. A typical picket fence code 39 would be as follows: " This code starts at row 0, column 10. The interpretation is included. To print the above bar code in a 3:1 ratio you would send the following: " USS-CODABAR SUPPLEMENTUSS-CODABAR is a numeric bar code with 6 special characters (-$:/.+) and 4 start/stop characters (A,B,C,D). The data sent must be bracketed by a start and stop character. The letter C is used to select USS-CODABAR bar code. A typical data stream for a picket fence codabar bar code with interpretation starting at row 0,column 110 is as follows: " A expanded ladder version of the above would be as follows: " CODE 128 SUPPLEMENT Code 128 is an alphanumeric bar code. All code 128 data must be bracketed by a caret (^) on both sides. The letter O is used to select one twenty eight bar code. Shift characters and check digits are automatically calculated by the Ghostwriter. The printer will switch between start codes ‘B’ and ‘C’ where appropriate. A typical ladder code 128 bar code would be sent as follows: " This would result in a 3 unit wide bar code starting on row 0, column 70. No interpretation is printed. A typical expanded picket fence code 128 would be as follows: " This code starts at row 0, column 10. The interpretation is included.
