[Description]

Transmits the size information for the encoded Composite Symbology in the symbol storage area using the process of GS ( k   <Function 480> .

[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 is the size of the symbol that is printed by GS ( k   <Function 481> of this command, and is the sum of the following data.
    • Line element and 2D composite element
    • Line element and 2D composite element separator
    • When HRI characters are designated to be added, the height of the HRI characters and the space between the symbol and HRI characters
  • 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.

    [Error information] indicates mainly detailed information when [Other information] is [Unprintable].
    Error information
    Error content
    Solution
    "0000"
    No error (printing is possible)
    −
    "1001"
    The line element symbol data is invalid
    Transmit valid data (GS ( k   <Function 480> )
    "1002"
    The 2D composite element symbol data is invalid
    Transmit valid data (GS ( k   <Function 480> )
    "1003"
    There is too much 2D composite element data
    When something other than GS1-128 is specified for line element, and when "automatic selection" is specified for 2D composite element and the 2D composite element data exceeds 399 bytes
    Reduce the amount of 2D composite element data (GS ( k   <Function 480> )
    Change the line element to GS1-128 (GS ( k   <Function 480>
    "1004"
    (Reserved: Incorrect column or row setting of 2D composite element data)
    −
    "1005"
    The combination of line element and 2D composite element is invalid
    When something other than GS1-128 is specified for line element, and "Fixed (CC-C)" is specified for the 2D composite element
    Change the line element to GS1-128 (GS ( k   <Function 480> )
    Change the 2D composite element to "automatic selection" (when the amount of data is 338 bytes or less) (GS ( k   <Function 480> )
    "1006"
    There is no data in the symbol storage area
    "2001"
    When the Standard mode is selected, there is data in the print buffer
    Empty the print buffer (GS T or the print command [LF, CR, ESC J, etc.])
    "2002"
    The symbol size is bigger than the current printing area
    The symbol is bigger than the printing area
    The symbol is bigger than the GS ( k   <Function 471> maximum width
    Make the module size smaller (GS ( k   <Function 467> )
    Make the GS ( k   <Function 471> maximum width bigger
    Make the printing area bigger (GS W, ESC W, ESC $ etc.)
  • The quiet zone is not included in the size information.
