NOTES 1. The Start, Function, Stop and Extension codes will be created by the
printer and added automatically.
2. The internal Modulo 10 check character will be automatically created
and added by the printer. The overall Code 128 symbol check char-
acter will be automatically created by the printer and added.
3. The automatically created human readable text will be created
according to the following rules:
• The spacing between the bar code and the text is fixed at 10 dots (.
• If the width of the human readable text is wider than the bar code, it
will start at the same position as the bar code and extend past the
right of the bar code.
• If the width of the human readable text is less than the bar code, it
will be centered on the bar code.
• The automatically generated HRI font is OCR-B.
• If any part of the human readable text extends outside the printable
area, none of it will be printed. Care should be exercised when
placing the bar code to allow for any automatically created human
readable text.
