HRI (Human Readable Information)--- Readable code data
The printed bar code data is indicated by the characters persons can recognize.
The HRI font is specified with print control characters (selection of font:
HEX
'
2BD10385nn
'
). EAN is printed with OCR-B regardless of the specified
font.
Note: The NBW, NSW, WBW, WSW, CGP, HT, XOFF, and YOFF values can be
specified in 1/1440 inch units. Since this printer operates in 1/180 inch
units (about 0.14 mm), their values are rounded in 1/180 inch units. They
must be specified with a multiple of 8 (8/1440 = 1/180). 1 inch is equal to
25.4 mm.
