This change affects any of the XL VideoJet drivers that use the ESI command interface. Currently those printers are:

1. 170I
2. 178I
3. Excel 1510
4. Excel 1520
5. Excel 2000
6. Excel 273

Prior to this change these printers only supported the 3 of 9 barcode font. They now support EAN8, EAN13, EAN8 with Human Readable Txt and EAN13 with Human Readable Txt.

Eclipse needs to be modified to allow selection of these fonts. The following characters are used in the driver to select these fonts:

1. EAN13 'F'
2. EAN13 with HRT 'f'
3. EAN8 'G'
4. EAN8 with HRT 'g'

In order to use these new fonts, the Eclipse print message must be configured to Select the font rather than using the printers default. The print message must also specify either 16x24 or 10x16 in the Barcode/Logo Font selection.

We do not have a printer to test these changes with but they are straight forward assuming the original barcode 3 of 9 selection worked correcty.
