Select Bar Code Interpretation Font
Most bar codes do not automatically include any bar code interpre-
tation in human readable characters. If you wish to include a bar
code interpretation, you can specify the font to be used for the bar
code interpretation (human readable).
BARFONT | BF[#<start parameter>,]"<font filename>"[, "<fontsize>"
[,"<fontslant>"[,<vert. offset>[,<height mag> [,<width mag>]]]]][ON]
<start parameter>
specifies the first parameter of the command
(default 1)
<font filename>
the file name of the font to be used
(default "Swiss 721 BT")
<font size>
the height of the font in points
(default 12 pt)
<font slant>
the slant of the font in degrees clockwise
(default 0
°
)
<vert. offset>
distance between bar code and interpretation
in dots
(default 6 dots)
<height mag>
the magnification with regard to height
(default 1)
<width mag>
the magnification with regard to width
(default 1)
<ON>
enables the printing of bar code interpreta-
tion
(default OFF)
Reset to default by:
PRINTFEED|PF
The bar code font size and slant can be specified separately using
the following commands:
BARFONTSIZE | BFS <font size>
BARFONTSLANT | BFL <font slant>
As with text fields, human readable bar code interpretation fonts
can contain characters from any national character set.
However, before using any of the standard fonts OCR-A BT, OCR-
B 10 Pitch BT or Zapf Dingbats BT, you must select a special char-
acter set for that font by means of a
NASC
command (see chapters
6.11, 9,2 and 11.1). Before switching back to any other font than
those mentioned above, you must specify the original character set
again by means of a new
NASC
command.
