Option 50 (Bar Code Density)–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
You can apply this option to bar code fields when you want to
create custom densities. When you apply this option, it
overrides the density value in the bar code field.
When using this option, set the density parameter in your bar
code field to the default value. You can only use this option
once for each bar code field. This option overrides the density
selected in the bar code field.
Bar codes produced using Option 50 may not be scannable.
The additional character gap, narrow space, and wide space
parameters are valid
only with Code 39, Codabar or PDF417.
If these parameters are specified for any other bar codes, they
will be ignored by the printer.
Do not use Option 50 with fixed
density bar codes such as Maxicode or POSTNET.

dots, a wide element of 8 dots, a gap of 4 dots, 4 additional
dot widths for the narrow bar code space, and 8 additional dot
widths for the wide bar code space (if this is a Code 39 or
Codabar bar code).
