A-5.3 Resident Barcodes Controlled by Private Command Sequences
Introduction Barcodes are programmed in three subsequent steps:
1. Select a barcode type and define the barcode specific parameter set of:
– height
– module width
– ratio of bars to spaces
– text control
2. Define barcode print position and print orientation
3. Print the barcode by sending the barcode data command
Note: For every barcode an individual set of parameters (height, module width,
ratio, and text control) can be programmed. The default values (see table on
page A-25) of these parameters are activated with the first selection of a
barcode type.
Programming a new parameter modifies only the value of the actually
selected barcode type. The value is applied until it is overwritten by a new
value or the printer is switched off. (Barcode parameters are not stored in the
printer environment!)
