Description
This command alters the way Data Matrix barcodes are generated and
printed.
Where
f = Feature to control and v = the value of the feature.
f = H, 48H, 72D
Blank Space before and after the barcode
f = M, 4DH, 77
Set minimum matrix size. v = 1-30, 0 sets to auto.

– 200 Size options
Note:
If the data will not fit in the selected size, the printer will revert to
auto mode.
f = Q, 52H, 82
if v = 1 Only square matrix sizes will be selected in
auto mode y. v = 0-1
f = W 57H, 87D
Set the minimum element width and height.
v = 1-10, 6 is the default.
A width of 1 or 2 may be unreadable.
It the barcode will not fit in the print zone, the printer will
automatically reduce the width until the barcode will fit. If
the barcode will not fit at a width of 1, the printer will not
print the barcode.
f = G, 47H, 71D)
GS1 Mode. (See General description above)
Note:
If in GS1 mode, a FNC1 is added to the beginning of the symbol
and that the compression is slightly altered. GS1 data formatting and
compaction are active and the input must follow the GS1 rules.
f = P, 50H, 80D
HRI Position
f =0
– Off, f = 1 - Top, f =2 - Bottom, f =3 - Both
f = F, 46H, 70D
HRI Font
f = 0 Medium, f=1 Larger, f- 2 Smaller (Note: Fonts may be
redefined by using the change legacy font command.)
