Bar Code Print Function
Note: The check digit is generated in the following calculation method:

NBW (2 bytes):
Thin black bar width
NSW (2 bytes):
Thin white space width
WBW (2 bytes):
Bold black bar width
WSW (2 bytes):
Bold white space width
CGP (2 bytes):
Gap width between characters
Must be specified in 1/1440 inch units. (However, this printer operates in
1/180 inch units, and a multiple of 8 must be specified.) If the bar code
symbol width exceeds 13.6 inches, the excess is not printed.
When NBW, NSW, WBW, WSW, or CGP is equal to 0, the default value is
used. When NBW, NSW, WBW, WSW, or CGP is equal to or less than the
minimum value, the minimum value is used. The 1-character bar code
symbol width determined by NBW, NSW, WBW, WSW, and CGP must not
exceed 13.6 inches.
(Unit: 1/1440 inch
1 dot: 1/180 inch = about 0.14 mm)
width=textline scale='0.9'.
– The correspondence between the thin and bold widths should be 1 :
2.5 to 3.0.
– WSW, WBW, and CGP are ignored in EAN code.
– For other than EAN codes, the minimum value of NBW is 0.191 mm.
– In the EAN standard, the NBW reference value is 0.33 mm width and
the EAN code is defined between 0.26 mm (0.8 time) and 0.66 mm (2
times). A value exceeding 2 times can also be specified.
– The correct reading rate varies depending on blot by ribbon density and
the features of the bar code reader. Preread data with the bar code
reader and check enough the result.
HT (2 bytes): Bar code height
Can be specified in 1/1440 inch units. (However, this printer operates in
1/180 inch units, and a multiple of 8 must be specified.) If the height of the
entire bar code symbol exceeds 13.6 inches, the excess is not printed.
HT = 0: The default value is used.
HT
≤
Minimum value: The minimum value is used.
A value greater than the maximum value cannot be specified.
The following lists the maximum value of the HT printable within 13.6
inches for each bar code type.
