[Notes]
1. Barcode character pitch is available for 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 and multiple of the narrow bar.

2. 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 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.
203dpi 2dots or more
305dpi 2dots or more
609dpi: 4dots or more
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 NW-7 or CODE39 specification, the barcode will be
printed; however, the scanner can not read it.
8. If sending the print data including check digit at the time of JAN/EAN13 or JAN/ EAN8 specification, set the correct calculated
value.
The barcode will be printed even when the data includes improper check digit; however, the scanner can not read it.
