There are three basic <Styles> and one user defined <Style> available (9) . With
default settings the bars and spaces become wider with an increasing <Element>
number. E.g. with the basic <Style> <Fine> the bars and spaces of <Elem.1>
consist of one stroke and the bars and spaces of <Elem. 4> consist of 4 strokes.
Therefore <Elem. 4> has four times the width of <Elem. 1> .
Each style provides different widths.
The <Middle> <Style> has
the double width of the <Fine>
<Style> and the <Large>
<Style> has three times the
width of the <Fine> <Style> .
With the
<User define>
<Style> a customized setting is
possible without changing the
three pre-sets.
When a preset
<Style> is
changed the
<User define>
<Style> will be automatically
selected.
The <Character Space (ICG> option (7) has only an effect on discrete bar codes
like code 39. With discrete barcodes an increase of the <Character Space (ICG>
value will lead to larger spaces between single characters.
With a discrete bar code characters begin
and end with a bar. This construction
creates spaces between characters that are
not part of a character. This inter character
gap should be approximately equal to the
narrow bar width. Codes with this inter
character gap are called discrete since each
character is separate and independent from
other characters in the same symbol.
With a
<Character Space (ICG)> of 0
there are no distance between the coded
characters. With an
<Character Space
(ICG)> of 10 all coded characters are
clearly separated. The <Character Space
(ICG)> value represents the number of
dots between each character.
Codes without inter character gaps are called linear codes. Linear codes are those
in which characters are grouped, one next to another, in one linear direction.
On these codes the
<Character Space (ICG)>
setting has no effects.
