[Description]

Transmits the size information for the encoded 2-dimensional GS1 DataBar symbol data in the symbol storage area using the process of GS ( k   <Function 380> .

[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."
  • This function does not print.
  • Size information of this command shows the size of the symbol which is printed with GS ( k   <Function 381> .
  • The size information for each data is as follows:
  • Send data

  • (∗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
  • The quiet zone is not included in the size information.
  • If "other information" is "Printing is impossible" (in decimal: 49), use one of the following solutions:
  • Cause
    Solution
    There are data in the print buffer in the Standard mode
    Put the printer in the "there is no data in the print buffer" status 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 367> .
    There is a problem with the amount of data or with the data of the symbol data
    Send correct data by GS ( k   <Function 380> .
    There is no data in the symbol storage area.
    Send data to the symbol storage area by GS ( k   <Function 380> .
  • See [Notes for transmission process] for process sending data group.
