A-5.2 Resident Bar Codes Controlled by Private Command Sequences
Introduction Bar codes are programmed in three subsequent steps:
1. Select a bar code type and define the bar code specific parameter set of
$
height
$
module width
$
ratio of bars to spaces
$
text control
2. Define bar code print position and print orientation
3. Print the bar code by sending the bar code data command
Note:
For every bar code an individual set of parameters (height, module
width, ratio, text control) can be programmed. The default values (see
table on page A-29) of these parameters are activated with the first
selection of a bar code type.
Programming a new parameter modifies only the value of the actually
selected bar code type. The value is applied until it is overwritten by a
new value or the printer is switched off. (Bar code parameters are not
stored in the printer environment !)
