The encoded data type is set based on Parameter d. The following table indicates the number of bytes encodable for each error correction level and data type. If 200 is specified for Parameter e, the setting for Parameter d does not affect the printer’s operation. Sets the escape sequence identifier based on Parameter i. This is enabled only when 200 is specified for Parameter e. Sets the symbol shape based on Parameter f. This is enabled only when 200 is specified for Parameter e. [Encoding] Encoding can be determined by the meta characters in the field data. Meta character processing is different depending on if the error correction level is ECC000 to ECC140 or ECC200.
If it is ECC000 to ECC140, the meta characters in the following table can be used. If it is ECC200, the meta character is recognized by a combination of a certain character and the escape sequence identifier. The following table indicates the special characters or characters that can be specified for meta characters (the escape sequence identifier is shown using the underscore as an example). In the field data specification, if the hexadecimal input is set using “^FH”, first processing to specify the characters by hexadecimal input is performed, and then the processing to specify the characters by meta character is performed.
If the error correction level is ECC200, the number of encodable characters is a maximum of 3116 characters for numerals, 2335 characters for alphanumerics, and 1556 bytes for binary.
