Two-dimensional bar codes
Bar code descriptor for Codablock F
HP BarDIMM deviations:
The HP BarDIMM Pro uses the PCL 5 height command V1 to specify the single line bar height of the
Codablock F bar code, such as the height of one of the rows contained in the bar code. No provision
is made to specify the absolute height of the Codablock F symbol. Parameters V2 and V3 are
derived from the ELMICRON specification.
In the HP BarDIMM Pro specification, the Codablock V parameter #1 is the single line bar height in 1/
60”, but it is actually in 1/72”.
