The valid data for each barcode type is described below. If invalid
data is included in the barcode data string, the barcode is not
printed.
The following conditions are required for barcode printing:
R Barcode printing is always performed unidirectionally.
However, when it is mixed with raster bit image data, neither
barcode nor raster bit image data is printed.
R A barcode is not printed when part of the barcode extends
beyond the right margin.
R When barcode data and text data are mixed in a data
sequence, barcodes and text are printed in the same place.
R The start and stop (*) characters of Code 39 are added to
human readable characters.
R The initial data of Code 128 (Set A, B, or C) is identified as the
first data of Code 128, and must be hexadecimal (41, 42, and
43, respectively).
R When Code 128 Set C and Interleaved 2 of 5 are selected,
barcode data requires an even number data string. However,
if an odd number string is sent, a 0 is automatically added,
making it an even number data string.
R The barcode print start position (except for POSTNET) is
always 7/72 inches above the baseline.
