Using the Bar Code Feature
Bar code printing is a special feature available on the 1330. For clarity, printed bar codes
will be referred to as bar code strips.
Bar codes are printed as the result of data entered in a sequence of steps beginning with
an escape character. The procedure outlined below gives the steps necessary to print bar
codes.
Scanner Data
The 1330 can print most popular bar codes (see Figure B-4). Scanning devices usually
read only one bar code type; therefore, the type of bar code printed is dependent on the
scanner in use. Your scanner will also determine the height and width of the bar code
strip.
Bar Code Data
The maximum number of printable characters is dependent on the bar code type employed.
Data to be printed as bar codes consists of numbers, letters, and mathematical symbols.
Readability
Bar code strips may vary in readability.
Note:
You may want to test to find the most readable strip.
Density
You must know where the bar codes and standard text (optional) are to be printed. Bar
codes can be printed at 10 or 12 CPI. Setting CPI from 10 to 12 reduces the size of the
bar code strip and changes the position of the bar code on the page. A maximum of eight
bar codes can be printed per line.
Start Print Positions
You must know how many bar codes are to be printed per page and where the first
character of the bar code strip is to be printed.
Height
A standard height for bar codes should be established throughout your organization. Bar
codes can be printed in 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 lines per inch (LPI).
