[Notes]
1. Barcode character pitch is available for CODABAR(NW-7), CODE39, Industrial 2 of 5, and Matrix 2 of 5.
To specify barcode character pitch, insert Character Pitch <P> right before barcode symbology.
When <P> is omitted, character pitch will be as same as narrow space width.

2. If there is no Registration of Bar Width Ratio <BT>, barcode based on pre-registered bar width ratio of narrow and wide bars
will be printed. Note that specification of <BT> is required beforehand to print.
3. Refer to the code list of each barcode for the print data.
[Remarks]
1. If the value other than valid range is set, command error will occur and barcode will not to be printed.
2. A barcode that exceeds the printable area will not be printed.
3. When narrow bar is enlarged, the barcode may exceed the printable area and may not be printed.
4. The scanner may not read the barcode with a valid character pitch when Character Pitch <P> is increased.
Also, increasing the narrow bar width may cause the same type of problem. For more information, refer to the documentation
of your scanner.
5. Specify the narrow bar width by considering the scanner readability and the head density.
6. Adjust Print Speed <CS> or Print Darkness <#F> in case of scanner reading problem.
7. If the Start / Stop character is not included in print data at the time of CODABAR(NW-7) or CODE39 specification, the printing
of barcode will be performed; however, the scanner can not read it.
