●Parameter
a Barcode type = H : UPC-A (“H” fixed)
b Narrow bar width = Valid range : 01 to 12 dots
c Barcode height = Valid range : 001 to 999 dots

[Notes]
1. This command supports UPC-A only. Selecting barcode type other than “H” will be a command error.
2. Recommended narrow bar width for UPC-A with HRI characters:
8 dots/mm resolution [02], [03]
12 dots/mm resolution [03], [04]
3. Refer to the following settings.

4. If a parameter is specified out of the range, its behavior will not be supported.
5. The command <BD> with specifying font type to print UPC-A will print the character bars all in the same length. On the other
hand, the command <BM> will print the start bar and end bar in the same length as that of guard bars.
When printing UPC-A with command<BD>, its HRI can be printed from under the start/end bar, because the length of them is
short. When printing UPC-A with command <BM>, character spacing of the HRI will be smaller than command <BD> because
the length of start and end bars is longer.
