Each bar code field requires a separate definition.

Syntax

B,field#,# of char,fix/var,row,column,
font,density,height,text,alignment,
field rot

B1. B

Bar Code Field.

B2. field#

Unique number from

0-99

to identify this field.

B3. # of char

Maximum number of characters.  If the bar code uses a check
digit, allow an extra character for the check digit.  The actual
maximum number of characters is limited by the size of the
label and bar code density.  Range:

0-2710

B4. fix/var

Fixed (

) or variable (

) length field.
