Barcode text control
This command controls the optional printing of barcode data as an added text
string.
ESC * z P1 Q
P1 = 0 disable text
P1 = 1 text above barcode with OCR-B font
P1 = 2 text below barcode with OCR-B font (default)
P1 = 3 text above barcode with actual selected font
P1 = 4 text below barcode with actual selected font
The text string is centred to the printed barcode.
Note: – For EAN code with OCR-B font the pitch is not 10 CPI.
– For actual fonts the vertical distance between barcode and text is equal to
the maximum bar width. The programmer has to ensure that the actual
selected font is adequate to be printed in combination with the barcode.
– This command is not applicable for the USPS Intelligent Mail® Barcode
IMB.
Barcode module width
Horizontal scaling of the barcode is selectable by the module width.
This parameter defines the width of the narrow bar in PCL units.
ESC * z P1 S P1 = module width in PCL units
Value range is from 1 to 32,767. The default values for the different barcode are
described in the table on the next page.
Note: For barcode types EAN and UPC the predefined values given with the
scaling factor (see table) must not be modified.
For Postnet, KIX code and USPS Intelligent Mail® Barcode IMB the module
width is fixed.
