GS W – Set Bar Code Element Width
Description
Selects the horizontal size of a bar code element. The Thin parameter represents the
thickness of the thin bars (in dots). The Thick parameter represents the thickness of the
thick bars (in dots). Each dot measures 0.0049 inches in 203 dpi and 0.0073 inches in
138 dpi.
In Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, and Codabar, the thick bar width is set according to the
Thick parameter, however, all other symbologies ignore the Thick parameter. The Thin
parameter is used by all symbologies.
The default setting is Thin = 4, Thick = 12.
