Printing in Notched Bar Code
The NOTCHED option only applies to UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, and EAN-13 bar code
types (and
only if 2 or 5 supplemental digit code is not included). If the supplemental digits
are included in these four bar code types, NOTCHED printing is ignored and printing
defaults to below the bar code.
It is important that the application selects an appropriate size font and set the vertical
motion index (VMI) accordingly when using the NOTCHED option. The depth of the
NOTCH is 1/2 of the VMI and the characters are printed with the baseline at 3/4 of the
VMI from the top of the notched area. The characters are evenly spaced within the notched
area.
