Two-dimensional bar codes
Bar code descriptor for Codablock F
HP BarDIMM Deviations:
The HP BarDIMM Pro uses the PCL5 Height command “V1” to specify the single line bar Height of
the Codablock F bar code, IE: 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.
The HP BarDIMM Pro specification specifies that the Codablock V parameter #1 is the “single line
bar height in 1/60”. But that is incorrect—it is actually in 1/72”.
