how to print barcode with zebra printer programming language


^BY3,3,102^FT389,54^BCI,,Y,N ^FD>:TC>502261601^FS

Can someone explain to me what how this barcode works? What does the >5 mean?When I remove the >5 the barcode prints too long to fit on the label. The reason I would like to remove the >5 is because I'd like to the barcode data TC02261601 to be variable and Id set it programitcally..


Solution

  • For most applications there is no need to be specific in the barcode command as to which subset of Code 128 should be used, such as inserting '>5'. You can let the printer handle it by (1) specifying 'Auto' mode in the BC command, and (2) just specify the barcode content, i.e., TC02261601.
