[Supplementary Explanation]
- The inter-character pitch of the barcode is valid at CODABAR (NW-7), CODE39, Industrial 2of5
and Matrix 2of5. The barcode inter-character pitch is set by specifying the character pitch <P>
immediately before.
If not set, the inter-character pitch will be of the same size as a narrow space and will become
multiples of a narrow bar.
e.g.)
Gap between characters Command Ratio Narrow
space width
<P>
specification
Narrow bar
width is [1]
Narrow bar width is [2]
None 3 6
<P>0 3 6
<P>1 1 2
<P>2 2 4
<P>3 3 6
<BT> 3:5 3
<P>4 4 8
- If there is no Registration of Bar Width Ratio <BT>, barcode based on pre-registered bar
width ratio of narrow and wide bars will be printed. Note that specification of <BT> is required
beforehand to print.
- For print data of each barcode type, refer to the code tables of barcode.
[Notes]
- If the value other than valid range is set, command error will occur and barcode will not be
printed.
- A barcode that exceeds the printable area will not be printed.
- Increasing narrow bar width may exceed the printing area and may not be printed.
- Scanner may not read the barcode with valid character pitch when Character Pitch <P> is
increased. Also, increasing the narrow bar width may cause the same type of problem. For
more information, refer to the documentation of your scanner.
- For specifying the narrow bar width, consider the reading compatibility of scanner and head
density beforehand.
- Adjust Print Speed <CS> or Print Darkness <#F> if there is a problem in barcode reading.
- Matrix 2of5 will be expressed as Coop2of5/NEC2of5.
- If Start/Stop character is not included in print data at the time of CODABAR (NW-7) or CODE39
specified, barcode will be printed; however, scanner cannot read it.
