CMC7 Bar Widths
The CMC7 specification defines the size of bars and gaps. A printer with
300dpi resolution can print a dot at positions in multiples of 85 micrometers
which causes that for some CMC7 parameters a print position is close to the
limits of the standard. Because toner density and media properties
contribute to the registration it might be necessary to adapt the composition
of a character to the application.
For that purpose an application specific parameter selection can be done in
the printer`s menue. The table below describes four selections and their
resulting allocation of bars and gaps. Factory default setting is “1- 2 - 5".
