arcode Definition
size
defines the height and width of the bars in a barcode. Height and narrow element
is defined for ratio oriented barcodes. For EAN, JAN or UPC it is also possible to
define the standard code size which is expressed through "SCx". The height
calculation includes the human readable characters if enabled.
height
Defines the barcode height in the pre selected measurement - millimeters or
inches.
narrow element (ne)
Defines the width of the smallest element of the barcode. The input is in
millimeters or inches. The narrow element (ne) size depends on the printer´s
resolution. One dot is the smallest possible element - therefor it depends on
the printhead resolution-how big or how small the thinnest line can
be printed.
ratio
The ratio between narrow and wide bars. (i.e. 3:1 means that the
widebar is three times the width of the small bar)
SCx,
SC = Standard Codesize. Unified barcode sizes of EAN and UPC
barcodes.
sets the size of the barcode to a defined standard code size. x is a numeric
value (0-9) and the possible barcode size depends on the printer´s
resolution. Used instead of height and ne (narrow element)
text
contains the barcode data to be encoded in a barcode. Depending on the selected
barcode type. Different rules are used for different barcodes. Some barcodes allow
only characters, some others have a fixed length etc. More information can be
found at the samples of each barcode.
