[Description]

Transmits the size information for the encoded PDF417 symbol data in the symbol storage area using the process of GS ( k   <Function 080> .

[Notes]

  • In Standard mode, use this function when the printer is "at the beginning of a line," or "there is no data in the print buffer."
  • The size information for each data is as follows;

  • (∗1) 
    "Horizontal size" and "vertical size" indicate the number of dots of the symbol. The decimal value of the vertical size and horizontal size is converted to text data and sent starting from the high order end.
    (ex: When horizontal size is 120 dots, horizontal size is "120" (in hexadecimal: 31h, 32h, and 30h / in decimal: 49, 50, and 48 ), which is 3 bytes of data.)
    (∗2) 
    "Other information" indicates whether printing of the data in the symbol storage area is possible or impossible. The "Other information" is the following.
    Other information
    Condition
    Hex
    Decimal
    30h
    48
    Printing is possible
    31h
    49
    Printing is impossible
  • Size information indicates size of symbol that is printed by GS ( k   <Function 081> .
  • The quiet zone is not included in the size information.
  • This function does not print.
  • If "other information" is "Printing is impossible" (in decimal: 49), use one of the following solutions:
  • <Other information>
  • Cause
    Solution
    There are data in the print buffer in the Standard mode
    Put the printer in the state "there is no data in the print buffer" by executing GS T or print commands ( LF, CR, ESC J ).
    Symbol is bigger than the current print area.
    Expand the print area by GS W, ESC W, ESC $.
    Reduce the module width by GS ( k   <Function 067> .
    Reduce the module height by GS ( k   <Function 068> .
    Lower the error correction level by GS ( k   <Function 069> .
    (Number of columns × number of rows) < number of codeword
    Increase the number of columns by GS ( k   <Function 065> .
    Increase the number of rows by GS ( k   <Function 066> .
    Number of the codeword in the data area is more than 928.
    Reduce the data by GS ( k   <Function 080> .
    Lower the error correction level by GS ( k   <Function 069> .
    There is no data in the symbol storage area.
    Sends data to the symbol storage area by GS ( k   <Function 080> .
