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
For every bar code an individual set of parameters (height, module
Note:
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 !)
The Resident Bar Codes are:
