[Notes]
1. This command supports UPC-A only. When setting [Barcode symbology] to the value other than ‘H’, command error will
occur.
2. HRI requires the following terms.
For 8 dots/mm, [02] and [03] would be a proper value of narrow bar width.
For 12 dots/mm, [03] and [04] would be a proper value of narrow bar width.
For 24 dots/mm, [06], [07] and [08] would be a proper value of narrow bar width.
Automatic HRI printing is will not be implemented when the value other than above is specified.
3. Settings for guide bar, HRI and Ratio are as follows.
4. The operation when invalid parameters are specified is not guaranteed.
5. The height of the character barcode is the same when printing UPC-A by using barcode command <BD>, however, the height
of the first digit and the last digit of the character code will be the same as the guide bar when printing with UPC-A barcode
command <BM>. Also, HRI can be printed from below the first digit to the last digit because the height of the barcode is
shorter when printing UPC-A by using barcode command <BD> , however, the printable area of HRI will be narrower when
printing UPC-A with UPC-A barcode command <BM> because the first digit and the last digit's height is longer.
