Placing a 0 (zero) in both c and d will cause the printer to use the default bar code ratio or module size. Placing a 000 (zero) in the symbol height field causes the printer to use the default bar code height.

6. Graphics
Using graphics, the printer can produce lines, boxes, polygons, and circles. This function is selected by entering an X in field b. The values entered in the data field determine the sizes and shapes of the objects to be drawn. Forms can be created using shaded boxes, complex logos, or even a simple diagonal line without the need to download a graphics file to the printer. The following
Lines and Boxes
Lines and boxes are drawn by values that determine column and row starting position, length, width, and wall thickness of the line or box (see Appendix J). All measurements are interpreted as inches/100 or millimeters/10, depending on the printer’s mode (see <STX>m). The data field jj…j is used to describe the line or box dimensions.
