Download Character Generator General Your printer offers you the possibility to design your own characters in normal print mode (DPQ), in NLQ, NLQ proportional, LQ and LQ proportional. These characters can either represent modified characters of the printer ’ s internal character sets or can replace other characters.
To define download characters it is helpful to do this in a defined way: Draft print quality or letter quality or letter quality proportional characters? Superscript or subscript character, 12 cpi or 15 cpi character (DPQ + LQ)? The desired print mode (DPQ or LQ or LQ proportional) must be selected in the printer.

Download Characters ESC & The sequence for the definition of download characters receives different parameters for 9 needle and 24 needle printers.
Defining Character (9 Needle Printer) Each downloaded character is defined in a matrix field of 9 rows high and 12 columns wide. It is only possible to use column 1 up to column 11. Column 12 is the space between one character and the next. Therefore it is always left blank by automatically setting dots in column 12 to zero.
Example (9 needle printer): The following example illustrates the definition of a character, the copyright symbol (a small “ c ” in a circle), instead of the character “ @ ” .
Example 10 REM Download Character Definition 20 LPRINT CHR$(27);"x";CHR$(0);:REM select draft print quality 30 LPRINT CHR$(27);"&";CHR$(0);"@@";CHR$(139); 40 LPRINT C.
Proportional Data (9 needle printer) Not all characters are the same size. “ W ” is considerably wider than “ i ” . In the proportional print mode, it is necessary to specify how much space a character takes by specifying the first and last printable columns in that character ’ s matrix.
Just add up the values of the three parts of the byte to get the value of A. 1. Normal = 128 Descender = 0 2. First column is 1 = 0 First column is 2 = 16 First column is 3 = 32 First column is 4 = 48 First column is 5 = 64 First column is 6 = 80 First column is 7 = 96 First column is 8 = 112 3.
Normal matrix field = 128 First column is 1 = 0 Last column is 12 = 11 Total value of <A> = 139 Normal matrix field = 128 First column is 4 = 48 Last column is 9 = 8 Total value of <A> = 1.
Example 10 REM Copy US ASCII caracter set 20 LPRINT CHR$(27);"R";CHR$(0); 30 LPRINT CHR$(27);":";CHR$(0);CHR$(0);CHR$(0); 40 REM Define character into # code and 4 code 50 LPRINT C.
Definition of NLQ Characters (9 needle printer) The definition of NLQ characters is more comprehensive than the definition of draft char- acters, since a larger number of dots is required. User-defined NLQ characters can only be generated in the NLQ mode of the printer.
Definition of the Character Grid NLQ characters consist of 18 vertical dots and 12 hori- zontal dots. Within this grid every num- bered line or gap can be oc- cupied, including the lowest and the furthest right line. You should, however, leave one or two columns empty, so that neighboring charac- ters do not touch.
The following example shows a user-defined arrow with the list of the individual column values (each 3 byte) which must be transferred to the printer. Data byte 1 00000 2 5 5 000000 Data byte 2 84210 2 5 5 012480 Data byte 3 0000 1 2 8 1 9 2 1 2 8 00000 See next page for the corresponding programming example.
Example 100 LPRINT CHR$(27);"x";CHR$(1); 110 LPRINT CHR$(27);"&";CHR$(0);";;"; 120 LPRINT CHR$(0);CHR$(12);CHR$(0); 130 FOR I=1 TO 36 140 READ D 150 LPRINT CHR$(0); 1.

For LQ proportional only, it is necessary to define all 41 columns; column 42 should be free. All other print modes use the number of columns as defined by d 1 . Superscript and subscript characters and 15 cpi characters can be assigned needles 1 to 16.

Table of Character Width for Proportional Printing On the following pages you will find tables of character widths for proportional printing. The characters are represented by the printout, the decimal and the hexadecimal value. Characters without decimal and hexadecimal codes are international characters or graphics.
Proportional width during scaleable font mode The values of the character widths are depending on the selected point size at your printer. The width of the scaleable fonts are based on the width of a proportional 10.5 point character. Calculate the width as follows: (character width) = INT ( point size ) x ( base width ) 10.

Barcode and LCP Printing Introduction Secured/Unsecured Mode Barcode Printing US Postnet Barcode Large Character Printing (LCP).
Introduction This User’s Manual describes all barcode and LCP sequences and control codes, regard- less of your printer’s special barcode and LCP implementation (LCP = Large Character Printing).
This may cause conflict with other emulations, since the above commands may have dif- ferent functions in these emulations, for example: SI Condensed print DC4 Reset expanded print ESC P <n> Proportional spacing ON/O FF ESC P Pica In barcode mode the barcode sequences have priority.
The syntax for the parameters, the start, separate and stop code is represented as follows: Figures (n) Start code Stop code ASCII hex. dec. "0" to "9" 30 to 39 48 to 57 ":&qu.
Special Feature If you not get the required control codes for Barcode of ASCII code table columns 0 and 1 out of your computer you can use in addition to these Barcode control codes a set of MTPL sequences to generate these control codes by printable ASCII characters.

Barcode Printing Barcode Header Before the data, which contains the barcode information, are transmitted to the printer, the barcode header must be sent. Otherwise the standard parameter values are used (see section "Header Format"). In the header, the printing parameters, the barcode size and the barcode type are defined.
The default parameter values are the following: Unsecured mode (see section "Secured/Unsecured mode") HRI OFF, Normal Print, Double Pass (F = SP) Barcode Type 2/5 matrix (a = "A") .
Barcode Print Feature F for Selection of F-Code HRI or normal/compressed as well as single or double pass is switched via character F according to the following table. ASCII Char. Hex- Value HRI 2 ) Print Pass 3 ) Direction 2 ) On Off Normal Compr. Double Single Unidir.

Barcode Width By specifying an ASCII value from 0 to 3, the barcode width can be defined. This allows ideal adaption to the scanner specifications, particularly for long-range scanners. Table 1 Header Para- meter Normal Compressed 1 ) older printer types (e.
All values are only valid when a new colour ribbon is used. They change depending on the degree of wear: narrow bar: approx. -0.05 mm narrow space: approx. +0.05 mm. The Code EAN 128 , as the EAN/UPC , is based on module widths. Therefore only the X parameter is valid for this type.

Add-On Barcodes UPC and EAN barcodes (commercial barcodes) can be extended with Add-On barcodes. The following barcodes can be extended with Add-On barcodes: Barcode Types H, I, K, L, N, O, P and Q In the data formats the numbers are generally given in the sequence they are printed from left to right in the barcode, i.

Check Number Calculation The following barcode types must be given a check number for transfer to the printer: Type H and I (EAN 8) Type K and L (EAN 13) Type N and O (UPC A) Type P and Q (UPC E) The check number (c) is transferred after the barcode information (n).
EAN 8 7 numbers are transferred for the EAN 8 code. The 8. digit represents the check number. The even figures of the information have a factor of "3", the uneven figures a factor of "1". Counting begins from the left. The resulting cross sum is divided by 10.
UPCE For the UPCE barcode type, 7 numbers are transmitted. The 8. digit is the check number. The uneven figures of the information have a factor of "3", the even figures a factor of "1". Counting begins from the left. The resulting cross sum is divided by 10.
Add-On 2 3 numbers are transmitted: check number (c) and 2 informations (n). The check number results from the remaining integer value of modul (4). Example 1 Information 004 Remainder (0) 0 Example 2.
