9.1.21 UCC/EAN Text Information, TCI 51
The TCI 51 generates the UCC/EAN information as text. This TCI uses the same criteria for
formatting as the TCI 50 bar code. The CGN selects the desired resident font that will be
used to generate this string. The printer will automatically surround each application
identifier with parentheses and add a space character in front of the data when using a TCI
of 51. Do not use the parentheses or spaces when entering the data for an application
identifier field.
9.2 Bar Code Rotation
When 0 and 180 degree bar codes are X multiplied (CMX), the space between characters is
also multiplied by the printer internally to maintain the correct ratio. When multiplying bar
codes use the default value for the spacing element (SP) in the field format parameters. On
some bar codes that allow spacing to be adjusted, spacing may be increased from the
default and not reduced to a smaller spacing.
When 0 and 180 degree bar codes are Y multiplied (CMY), the result is the actual height of
the bar code in thermal dots. If the Y multiplier (CMY) is not multiplied, a bar code with a
vertical length of one dot would be produced. For example: If a one inch high bar code is
desired, 203 should be inserted for the CMY value.
When 90 and 270 degree, ladder or vertical, bar codes are X multiplied (CMX), the result is
the actual width of the bar code in thermal dots. If the X multiplier (CMX) is not multiplied, a
bar code with a horizontal length of one dot would be produced. For example: If a one inch
wide bar code is desired, 203 should be inserted for the CMX value.
When 90 and 270 degree bar codes are Y multiplied (CMY), the space between characters
is also multiplied by the printer internally to maintain the correct ratio. When multiplying bar
codes use the default value for the spacing element (SP) in the field format parameters. On
some bar codes that allow spacing to be adjusted, spacing may be increased from the
default and not reduced to a smaller spacing.
