Human-Readable Positioning with Bar Code
The text is centered horizontally above or below the bar code. Text printed above the bar
code has a baseline at 1/4 of the vertical motion index (VMI) + 5 scan lines above the top
of the bar code. This leaves space for decenders and 5 blank scan lines. Text printed below
the bar code has a baseline at 1 VMI below the bottom of the bar code.
Positioning after Printing a Bar Code
The horizontal position is restored. The vertical position is at the scan line after the bottom
of the bar code if no text is printed or if the text is printed above the bar code. The vertical
position is a VMI (line feed) below the text if text is printed below the bar code.
