One of these bar codes:

Disabled

Enable ABC, Transmit ABCD Start/Stop

*$+CD00*

*$+CD11*

*$+CD00*

*$+CD11*

 Example:

im_command (“$+CD11”,6);

will enable Codabar.

Enables or disables decoding of Code 39 symbology. Code 39 is discrete, variable
length, and self-checking. The character set is uppercase A to Z, 0 to 9, dollar sign ($),
period (.), slash (/), percent (%), space ( ), plus (+), and minus (-). The maximum
character length for a label is 23 characters.

The 5055 decodes three types of ASCII:

• Code 39 non-full ASCII
• Code 39 full ASCII
• Code 39 mixed-full ASCII

Code 39 non-full ASCII    Non-full ASCII uses a one-character encoding scheme. For
example, you encode the data “SAMPLE” as follows:

*SAMPLE*

*SAMPLE*

This label decodes as SAMPLE.

Code 39 full ASCII    Full ASCII uses a two-character encoding scheme to extend the
character set to 128 characters. You use the dollar sign ($), slash (/), percent (%), or
plus (+) followed by an uppercase letter to represent one of the characters in the
extended set. You must encode lowercase letters as a plus sign (+) followed by their
uppercase equivalents. For a list of ASCII characters and their Code 39 representations,
see the “Full ASCII Table” in Appendix C.

Use Code 39 full ASCII to enter ASCII control characters or lowercase characters as
data. You should also enable Code 39 full ASCII to use ASCII command characters.
