Short bar height in points (1/72 inch). If the specified value is
smaller than the Minimum allowable height for the selected barcode
type, the allowed minimum value will be substituted.
Example: Bar code in point size 87: 87v

ONFIGURATION
“B” parameter Esc(s#1,#2,#3,#4b or Esc(s#1;#2b
This parameter can perform one of two functions:
Function 1: Specify the exact number of dots to use for bar
widths
Function 2: Specify bar width parameters in terms of unit
module width and wide-to-narrow ratio
To perform the Function 1, the values in the escape sequence must
be separated by the comma character. When performing Function 1,
it is also necessary to set the space width by setting the “S”
parameter value (see below)
To perform Function 2, the values in the escape sequence must be
separated by the semicolon character. When specifying bar width
information in this manner, it is not necessary to specify the “S”
parameter for space width, as space width generation is controlled
automatically.
Function 2, when used, enables high precision barcode rendering.
Specifying bar parameters in this manner is preferred so as to be
independent of the particular device being used for barcode printing.
Different printing devices have differing amounts of dot gain that
can affect the actual width of generated bars and spaces. The printer
takes this dot gain into account to accurately control bar and space
sizes.

PARAMETER
INTERPRETATION
In Function 1, the parameters represent the width of drawn bars in
600 DPI units. The number of parameters required depends on the
symbology being used:
