j Data for imaging. The format is similar to the generation
of text and barcode and is described further in the text.
When the barcode functions with a set number of
symbols the command will be rejected at an
unacceptable symbol. The same is valid in the case of
invalid barcode lengths demanding a certain number
of symbols.
Example: B0,0,0,E30,2,3,60,B,”123456789012"
Will create a barcode image of the EAN13 type with a
starting coordinate (0,0), not rotated, with bars 2 dots
wide, 60 dots high with a duplicating text with content:
“123456789012”.

Will create an image of the text “Something” from the
coordinate (10,10) rotated to 90

The text is not inverted.
Generating barcodes
The command is used for inserting a barcode in the image.
Format: Ba,b,c,d,e,f,g,h[i],j
a Starting coordinate on X for the upper left angle of
t he text: 0 - 2047.
b Starting coordinate on Y for the upper left angle of
the text: 0 - 4095.
c Text orientation: 0=0, 1=90

where rotation is clockwise.
d Selection of the type of barcode for printing - text
from 1 to 3 symbols. The possible values are in
Table 1.
e Setting the thickness of the narrow bar in dots.
Possible values: 1 - 6.
f Setting the thickness of the wide bar in dots.
Possible values 2 - 10, where the value must be
bigger than the previous parameter. Some of the
barcode demand additional restrictions.
g Height of the barcode in dots. Possible values are
between 24 and 1000.
h Duplicate information in textual form or not.
Possible values:
N no
B yes
i A non-compulsory parameter, showing th
alignment of the duplicating text in relation to the
barcode. Accepted only if the preceding parameter
has a B value. Possible values:
C centered
R right aligned
By default the text is left aligned.
