A-5.1 Intelligent Mail® Barcode Fonts (IMB)
The barcode IMB is integrated as two bitmapped fonts into the Operating System for
the printer as resident printer font.
Two IMB resident barcode fonts are available, a standard version with a height of
10.49 points and a compact version with a height of 9.09 points. The printer resident
barcode font IMB can be selected either from the operator panel of the printer as
internal font number (for programming detail see PCL Typeface List) or by PCL
command with the following parameters:
– symbol set 8U pitch 23.08 point size 9.09 typeface 5 (Times Roman) or
– symbol set 8U pitch 23.08 point size 10.49 typeface 5 (Times Toman)
The four-state bars are printed by sending the characters “A”, “D”, “F” and “T” to the
printers.
– character “A” represents an Ascender Bar
– character “D” represents a Descender Bar
– character “F” represents a Full Bar
– character “T” represents a Tracker Bar
If these fonts are used then the encoding of the IMB is done outside of the printer.
These IMB barcode fonts can be used like any other bitmapped font in the PCL5
emulation. Position and rotation is possible by PCL5 commands.
