Abstract
A bar code printer capable of printing bar codes simultaneously with character strings made of, for example, alphanumeric characters. Operating a bar code key causes a bar code input display to appear on a display and the bar code start code to be stored in a bar code buffer. Then operating a number key causes a number code representing the number to be stored in the bar code buffer and a dot pattern representing the number code to be output to a video RAM. Operating an execution key while a 13 digit number code is stored in the bar code buffer will additionally cause an end code to be stored in the bar code buffer and the resultant code string to be stored in a text memory.
