5. Wide-to-Narrow ratio is only valid for the following bar code types:
● Code 3 of 9 (X'01')
● MSI (X'02')
● 2 of 5 Industrial (X'0A')
● 2 of 5 Matrix (X'0B')
● Interleaved 2 of 5 (X'0C')
● Codabar (X'0D')
The default ratio for Codabar, Code 3 of 9, and the 2 of 5 types is 2.5:1 for unit/module width of 0.36
and 0.43 mm (0.014 and 0.017 in.), 3:1 for 0.53 mm (0.021 in.), and 2.5:1 for 0.71 mm (0.028 in.) The
default for MSI is always 2:1.
6. BCDD bytes 12 and 15-1A and WBC command byte 0 are not applicable to POSTNET; these bytes
are ignored by the printer as the POSTNET Specification defines values for these parameters.
7. The S828 Printer provides Limited Simulated Color Support. All architecturally defined color values for
graphics data are accepted and result in simulation of the specified colors without generation of
unsupported color exceptions. All valid colors not listed in the above table (X'0001' through X'0007',
X'0009' through X'0010', and X'FF01' through X'FF06') are simulated by printing in black.
8. If the color requested is not available, the printer uses black.
Figure 28 shows the BCDD field specifying the size of the bar code medium presentation space within the
bar code block on the logical page. The bar code medium presentation space must fit within the bar code
block.
