I’m trying to print a barcode on the EPSON LX-300 II printer, but it’s not working.
I’m using the following command:
(Esc char)(B0500001800000000011151113939183000157550000000000091111023116
Which is in accordance with this manual, on page C-195: http://doc.stoq.com.br/Epson/ESCP_Part_1.pdf
I’m already printing a text, but when I send the barcode command, the printer stops printing.
Is the command correct? This printer supports barcode printing?
Take an ESC/P manual from the LX-300 II itself, or you will suffer for nothing. I would recommend you generate the bars in your code, and send them to the printer in graphic mode (in ESC/P you send the code in graphic mode, the number of characters, and the bytes of the points to print, which in the case of the bar will be alternating in 0 and 255). See if this helps http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDetails.aspx?lng=en-GB&data=6p8Gbf6kzcDjBDX5CN0IhYGAuQVqVCJs&id=18162

I already took the manual of the LX-300 II itself and it looks exactly like this. And graphic printing is also a command, so I don’t know if it’s viable, but I will make that attempt.

The advantage of using graphic mode is that if you need to change your printer tomorrow or later, it is much easier to adapt. The ESC/P graphical mode is much more accepted than the barcode modes of some models.
