^B9
UPC-E Bar Code
Description:
The ^B9 command is a variation of the UPC symbology used for number system 0. It is a shortened
version of the UPC-A bar code in which zeros are suppressed, resulting in codes that require less
printing space.
Each character in a UPC-E bar code is composed of four elements: two bars and two spaces. The
^BY command must be used to specify the width of the narrow bar.
･^B9 e lement size is 1 : 1, 2 : 2, 3 : 3, 4 : 4, 6 : 6, and 8 : 8.
･Field data(^FD)is limited to exactly 6 characters.
･The first digit numbering system character is "0" fixed so it is not transmitted.
･When the six characters is sent from computer, th e printer automatically calculates the checksum
at the end of digit
･ When the seven characters is sent from the computer, the printer compares the characters with
the calculated checksum. If they do not agree, the printer prints all bar codes 0 (zero). And it is
not printed when the input characters is smaller than 6 characters.
･ If supplementary code is to be added, refer to item of bar code ^BS.
